Hi there, I got this bug too, twice, since I had to reinstall by updating from 8.10 alfa 3 to kernel 2.6.27-2 again, since I had a fatal system crash. Plz find 2 screenshots and a crash report in attachment. thomas@thomas-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ; sudo apt-get install -f ; sudo dpkg
