Comment 6 for bug 275742

Thanks for your testing! Now that you can boot your computer, it would be interesting to know if ubuntu is able to read your CDs and/or your hard drive. Can you try to read files in your hard drive partitions and in a CD that contains data and give us which worked and which didn't work?

Also if you can install ubuntu on that computer, it would also be interesting to see if ubuntu boots correctly once it is installed on your hard drive.

Finally, it would be very useful if you can follow the instructions of my last comment to provide the debug .log files. Note that dmesg .log file will only be useful if you create it right after the bug occurred (within busybox prompt). Other log files can be generated from the LiveUSB session without any problem.

About gnome-panel, it is bug #153739. You can still move the window by holding a mouse click anywhere on the window while pressing "Alt" key. You can also temporary disable compiz in the System / Preferences / Apparence menu, in the visual effect tab.
