2008-10-01 23:41:55 Dara Adib linux: statusexplanation 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.

This is a generic error message that is almost certainly a secondary symptom of whatever caused the system to fail to boot. Can you please provide the lines displayed /before/ this one when the boot fails?
