Hi again, actually the options don't read linux 3.0.0-1. I can't quite make out what it reads because it's covered with Letters (P & M) & other symbols. The rest of the msg is correct as far as I can make out. I copied the "options" from a ticket on the Ubuntu forums. Some other folks are getting the same msg.
