My machine is a Dell Inspiron 6000, Centrino proccessor. The bug occurs immediately after I log in.

This may have nothing to do with the crash, however this is the sequence of events

Started Natty from hibernation (which usually works quite well) Had to power the system down and restart from sctatch. Sysyem came up fine, but failed when I started Firefox.

Crash message followed and Firefox continued.

My machine is an Acer Aspire 5100-3949 and is, unfortunately, a "bug magnet" with recent versions of ubuntu (poorly supported ATI Radeon Xpress graphics card, especially). This crash has been occurring on cold boot after a fresh reinstall using yesterday's daily build iso.

@Tommy, you may want to try the boot flags "acpi=off noacpi nolapic" and see if it helps.

[Chenheting (chenheting)]

After I restart the machine, I got this bug.

Bug 743730 looks similar to this one.

Same here, 12.04 AC100-10D PDN01E-00801EN5 32GB SD-card.

We believe this has been resolved with the application of a workaround for bug #553745. If you continue to see this behavior in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, please reopen this report and provide details.
