Hi, I can confirm Ubuntu 10.04 is crashing on startup if using Dell Latitude D505. I tried running it on 2 separate D505s machines, and it doesn't start.

These D505s ran Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04, (and other distros) successfully with no major issues.

I notice this issue also raised by another user on ubuntu-bugs: [Bug 568939] [NEW] Kernel 2.6.32-21.32 fails to boot Dell D505 Laptop beyond splash

I posted a separate question about this a few days ago on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu (Question #109033).

Unfortunately I haven't time to spend resolving this, I'm posting this just to confirm that the bug exists. Thanks!
