Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.20-12-generic
The linux-image-2.6.20-12-generic kernel package panics on my Dell
Latitude 640 with a Netgear MA401 PCMCIA wireless card installed. It
runs fine without the card plugged in. Strangely, the Feisty Herd 5 and
Beta Live CDs boot and run just fine, with all the local wireless APs
detected and showing up in gnome-network-manger. But after installation
from either CD, the kernel panics on boot while detecting available
PCMCIA cards. I tried it with the -9, -11, and -12 generic kernels. If I
remember correctly, -8, -10, and earlier kernels worked (including the
brief 2.6.19 series).
Feisty's installed generic kernel ran fine with the wireless card
installed up until around the Herd 4 era, when I installed a different
OS but decided to go back to Feisty.
If someone could tell me how to record kernel logs from a panic a boot,
I'll post them.
