Running Intrepid Ibex Alpha 6 AMD64 with all updates applied.
Just did the latest updates, restarted as required and got this crash report.

I installed valgrind, worked fine.
Removed any old logs, said no such file or directory.
Tried to start valgrind and got - bash: syntax error near unexpected token `<'

I have this problem too, ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 fully patched

[Jeff Goodine (jgoodine)]

I have this problem as well, under Linux 2.6.27-3-generic x86_64 (can't run -4 as it causes my PC speaker to beep constantly and does not boot). Under fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 6 as well.

Having the same problem under the generic kernel on an Intel Atom CPU.

[Charles Lowell (cowboyd-thefrontside)]

I had this problem too --using the 8.10 beta on a 64bit intel

[Terry Browning (ubuntu9648)]

I apt-got the latest on 6 Oct (2.6.28-5) and all seems well. :)
