Bug Description
HW: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6420 @ 2.13GHz
on a NFORCE motherboard.
I am running feisty, but having (at least) weekly locks with nvidia's binary vid drivers. In attempt to fix this problem, I attempted to install the 2.6.24 kernel (which, BTW apt-get always puts the wrong UUID in my menu.list file for grub - but that's another issue)
I temporarily added the Hardy repo + apt-get update, then installed (today at 2007/08/08)
linux-image-
linux-ubuntu-
linux-backports
linux-headers-
Then rebooted.
The 2.6.24-7 kernel booted, then I get several screens of 'Segmentation Fault' and I am left at the initramfs prompt. I could not find any logs or anything else to find out what/who was seg faulting.
I did have a very limited command prompt, but no vi, no bash, etc. I don't know if this kernel is using a ramfs, but if it is, that is where I was stuck.
Please let me know how to get you more meaningful information.

Hi,
Care to actually try running a LiveCD rather than just installing the latest kernel? You can download and try the new Hardy Heron Alpha release from http:// cdimage. ubuntu. com/releases/ hardy/ . You should be able to then test the new kernel via the LiveCD. Let us know if you witness the same errors. General information regarding the release can also be found here: http:// www.ubuntu. com/testing/ . Thanks.
