I don't know if this is related, but I had some kernel panics on Intrepid Ibex 
8.10. I think they might be related to skype, as it seems to work if I don't 
start skype. There was no error and I did not change any mic-related settings 
though. The only thing that points to skype is this line in the kernel-log:
Oct 25 01:00:07 aestivalis kernel: [ 4604.953671] process `skype' is using 
obsolete setsockopt SO_BSDCOMPAT

I will try to keep my PC running without skype for some time now, to see
if some kernel panic occurs. Would be bad if skype really is the reason
for this.

Btw.: Gentoo Linux was installed on this box before, which had some
issues with the athereos WLAN card (ath5k). But this only showed in
random disconnects (lost access point association, so no real connection
loss on IP-level) on high throuput and never froze the system.
Nevertheless ath5k could have some issues on Ubuntu, too.

In any case I will write back later, when I have some more details.
Hopefully no panic occurs without skype running, so the source of the
error would be found.

If anyone has some tips on how to get some more details about the panic
itself (which don't need me to switch to text-mode and stay there
waiting) I would be glad hearing them.
