unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000032c

[Christopher Blay]

I upgraded to the 2.6.31-16 kernel the other day but now the kernel panics when it tries to start x and i have to 'reisub' to restart it. I've attached a kernel log showing the problem. Let me know what other files I can get to help you. It boots fine when I go to the old 2.6.31-15 kernel so I'm just using it for now...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage. I have classified this bug as a bug in linux.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please execute the following command, as it will automatically gather debugging information, in a terminal:

apport-collect 493344

This will help us to find and resolve the problem. Bear in mind that you may need to install the python-launchpadlib package from the universe repository. Additionally, when prompted to give apport-collect permissions for Launchpad you will need to give it at least the ability to "Change Non-Private" data as it will be adding information to your bug report. Thanks in advance!

well it's really weird but the computer in question boots up just fine to the most recent kernel now

not sure what changed other than the time but i'm just gonna close this as invalid

thanks for your help though!
