Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
I Use the Update Wizard for downloading Updates. With the latest Update my Ubuntu Dapper with Gnome, install a new Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-26-686 & 386. That brings a Problem by starting Gnome. My Notebook start and boot normal to the Login Screen, then Gnome try to start and hangs by loading the Desktop. From the Login Screen repeating a Ubuntu Sound immediately.
When I boot with 2.6.15-25-686 kernel everything works normal.

I am having what I think is the same problem with the latest kernel 2.6.15-26-386.
Here is more information. It looks like similar hardware:
Everything was working well with my Ubuntu 6.06 computer until the upgrade containing the new 2.6.15-26-386 kernel was installed. The boot up starts normally until the login screen comes up. Normally there is a short drum sound when the login screen opens but now the drum sound keeps going and going and going. After that point the computer is unusably slow. If at the grub screen I load the 2.6.15-25-386 kernel everything is fine.
