Ran "sudo update-manager" at 2012-03-02 14:45 UTC, installing a linux 3.2.0-19 generic kernel on Ubuntu precise beta 1. That kernel fails to boot on a Dell Latitude E5420 laptop (intel core i7 CPU). It won't boot in either normal or recovery mode, wedging around 1.7 seconds in. The previous 3.2.0-18 kernel is fine, and is being used to submit this report.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.
However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.
We have noted that there is a newer version of the development kernel than the one you last tested when this issue was found. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.
You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.
If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.
Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.
