Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-image-
I've been using ubuntu 8.04 (32 bit) on a dell inspiron 531 for a while.
All was fine with kernels up to 2.6.24-19, but since the upgrade to 2.6.24-21, the machine crashes
at every boot. The problem persists even after several minor upgrades in the 2.6.24-21.x series.

SRU Justification
Impact: systems with AMDx2 processors will panic in early boot
Fix Description: prevent creation of sysfs links for un-startable processors
Risks: this code is run on all systems with acpi, but the patch is very simple and obvious
TEST CASE: boot hardy latest on and AMDx2

Hi gbon,
Can you goot with the 'quiet' and 'splash' options removed. Are there any messages printed when the machine crashes? Would you be able to take a digital picture of these messages and attach it to this bug report. I'm also curious if you've tested the more recent Intrepid Ibex 8.10 that was released. Does this newer release also have the same issue? Please let us know. Thanks.
