Bug Description

Binary package hint: linux-generic-pae

Ubuntu-Release: 11.04

Package / Version: linux-generic-pae / 2.6.38.8.22

Expected Behavior: Proper Systemstart

Experience
Each time I boot up my fresh Ubuntu-Installation for the first time after I turn the AC on again, I experience a kernel bug (screenshot will follow in attachement). After that, I start up the machine with the boot-option "nomodeset", and everything runs fine. Booting directly after that again without the boot option "nomodeset", the kernel boots up without problems and starts Unity just fine.

I also run an Arch-Linux-Installation with a Vanilla-Kernel (2.6.38) and a seperate Kernel with CK-Patches (2.6.37) on the same machine - both Kernels start up fine, so, the problem is more or less Ubuntu-specific.
