I have no idea if this is related at all, please forgive me if it is not. I had the same symptoms as you (Casey) described them in this bug description, the other bug and in the forum thread. I finally was able to track it down to the NetworkManager. Disabling the NetworkManager like described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager?action=show&redirect=WifiDocs%2FNetworkManager#Disabling%20NetworkManager allowed me to log in. After logging in and starting the NetworkManager in a terminal by hand triggered the kernel panic again. Please let me know if you need more information and if yes, what information. -- kernel-panic ubuntu 9.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329976 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
