Public bug reported: Problem occurs when booting "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-22-generic" (line copied from /boot/grub/menu.lst) on an Acer Aspire 5100 laptop. After initial install the boot went ok. I have a configuration document I follow to perform a fresh install of Ubuntu, and I was nearing the completion of the install. As the final series of steps, I installed wine and network-manager-pptp, configured wine, and installed a Windows program under wine. VPN requires a reboot to enable VPN, and the problem occurs during the reboot. Based on previous experience, the problem will recur on every single reboot. The work-around is to boot from "Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic" instead. I suspect the problem is caused by VPN, and next time I do a fresh install, I will reboot after each of my install steps, to confirm the machine will still boot. I am not using Ubuntu 8.10 because I haven't been able to get wireless to work under 8.10.
