Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. With which specific version of Ubuntu did you notice this? Was it with Gutsy? If so was it using the Beta version of Gutsy? Thanks in advance.

It was under Gutsy Beta, but this bug was existing under Feisty.
I just "solved" it yesterday with theses boot options, at the live-CD boot :

pci=noacpi nobiospnp noapic nolapic

now it's working but I had an other kernel panic during the first restart,
after updating

So i'm waiting, because it's seems unstable

Ask me if you need anything (log, etc.)

thanks for you amazing work, and sorry for my bad english!

It would be helpful if you could add the full output of 'dmesg' after a fresh boot and the output of 'sudo lscpi -vvnn' as attachments to your bug report. Additionally, is the BIOS of your system up to date? Thanks again.

Beginning with the Hardy Heron 8.04 development cycle, all open Ubuntu kernel bugs need to be reported against the "linux" kernel package. We are automatically migrating this bug to the new "linux" package. However, development has already began for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. It would be helpful if you could test the upcoming release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . If the issue still exists, please update this report by changing the Status of the "linux" task from "Incomplete" to "New". We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make this transition. Thanks!

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.
