Bug Description
ok so when ubuntu loads it freezes and the caps lock indicator flashes.
text only mode outputs: Kernel Panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! ---then dies
when i first installed hardy hardin 64 bit i had this problem. even from booting off livecd. 32 bit ran fine.
i installed/ran intrepid ibex alpha 4 for like 3/4 weeks, until there was some sort of kernel update on ~august 30, which reintroduced the problem into intrepid ibex
the whole problem I posted here before i tried initially installing intrepid: https:/
when grub now boots, it has 3 more options: the standard boot, recovery mode, and last successful boot---- except that its with a different kernel version. (i assume installed from the update.
the new kernel version: 2.6.27-2, is the default and fries my comp when booted from.
the old kernel: 2.6.26-5, you have to manually select, after which it boots fine.
how can i get the new kernel version to work, and why isn't it?

Confirming this bug. Setting as high importance since it has a severe impact on a small (estimated) portion of Ubuntu users.
At about the same time as the bug reporter, I got this kernel panic on Ubuntu Intrepid 64-bit. However, I can successfully boot into my system if I reset the computer one or two times.
Though I never experienced this problem on Ubuntu 8.04, the bug for which the reporter was referring to is Bug #196046.
I'm going to try setting the default Grub settings to an older kernel and see what happens.
