Comment 10 for bug 264529

@dara adib

i believe you are experiencing a different bug, that by chance was also introduced by the same kernel update to 2.6.27-2. you said that if you tried several times, the system would boot properly, which is not the case for me--it has never booted once on one of the "evil" kernels.

for me, the last kernel that worked properly was 2.6.26-5 in ibex alpha4. since then, every version of ubuntu i have downloaded from the website (even ibex 8.10 stable) has been subjected to the crashing.

my only solution is to remain using 6 month(-ish) old kernel, and try a new kernel every month or so, until the problem fixes itself indirectly, through periodical code changes. i guess a 6 month outdated kernel for ubuntu is better than a 6 year outdated infrastructure by using XP.

thanks again for all the help--it seems as if i'm the only one experiencing the bug, and unfortunality i lack the knowledge to diagnose & fix it manually. the one thing that annoys me most is that there is probably one little "evilkernel=off" option to apphend while booting--but i just don't know what it is..
