Comment 19 for bug 585765

Priority should be at least high. I experienced over a dozen crashes last night, as I tried various kernels. Finally my system wouldn't boot anymore - just a grub> prompt, and no menu. (I think, because the system froze while I was installing an old kernel/headers.) Took me about 3 hours to figure out how to get it working again (complicated by my booting from software RAID, and by the fact that for some reason grub2 was never installed, and there was no grub menu on either boot disk).

Apart from the hours/days of lost time, now I'm quite nervous about losing data as well. I want to help improve the distribution, but I need a stable system.... will probably have to revert to karmic on the weekend.
