Bug Description
After automatic upgrade in Hardy Heron Beta (originally kernel 2.6.24-12), the new kernel, 2.6.24-15 failed to do several tasks. Initially the boot process froze at : Reading files needed to boot. I chose the older kernel (24-12) and got back in and modified the fstab list for ntfs partitions from 0 back to 1. This time it booted but the nvidia card wasn't configured properly and gdm started in 800x600 resolution. Furthermore, even the network connection wasn't established. When I tried to quit (top right corner button), the machine entirely froze, except for the mouse. The only option was hard reboot by holding down the power-off button.
Now I am back to using kernel 2.6.24-12 which seems to be working flawlessly.
Let me know which file I need to upload to give the system stats. Thanks.
Found in dmesg:
