Same here, but with a AMD XP 2200+. The same happened with 2.6.17-8-generic kernel, I just waited for the new kernel update(2.6.17-9-generic), but it crashes the same way.
Kernel linux-image-2.6.17-7-generic works fine thought... As a side note, my motherboard (Asus K7V8-X) requires acpi=off to boot up correctly, the reporter had also acpi flag set, maybe has any relation? -- [edgy] kernel panic after last update https://launchpad.net/bugs/61848 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
