Thanks Geir. I'm now on the specified kernel, running with the desired options. Just have to wait for a crash now. :)
Here's some detailed instructions: Use this command to delete the 9238492 crash files that were generated from the last crash that you don't need: sudo bash find . -name '*.crash' | xargs rm (just doing a sudo rm -rf *.crash produces "argument list too long" error) Since grub2 is shipping w/ lucid, here's the new method for using a kernel option You can either edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which is not recommended, because this will get overwritten at certain points (like installing new kernels)) and just add your drm.debug command linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-997-generic root=UUID=7097xxxb-5a4c-4bxx- ae11-9xxxxxxxxxx52 ro drm.debug=0x02 quiet splash OR you can edit /etc/default/grub, add "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=drm.debug=0x02" to the bottom of the file, and then "sudo update-grub" This will append the drm debug command to all lines, but this can be removed later and updated. I'd hope that kernels that don't understand that debug option will simply ignore it. Although I'm not likely to be booting those now anyways.
