*bump* I confirm that I have exactly the same problem as Adam J Richardson when attempting to update a LiveUSB 8.04 install using "hard-updates" source to try and give me a system that has software versions at least equivalent to (K)Ubuntu 8.04.1 install.
I too followed the instructions from www.pendrivelinux.com (but the Kubuntu variant) and installed to ext2. Without going to single user mode I can see the contents of /var/log/syslog - from normal runlevel 2 - that looks (almost?) identical to the attachment by Adam J Richardson: Oct 2 01:00:26 ubuntu kernel: [11345.915905] ------------[ cut here ]------------ Oct 2 01:00:26 ubuntu kernel: [11345.915917] kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.24/fs/attr.c:138!
