Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20
If you have a SD card in the built-in slot of the Dell Inspiron 1501
notebook, (maybe others) Ubuntu will boot the live CD without a CPU 0
fault and Ubuntu will NOT install. It will error out while trying to
boot the live CD. It will never boot completely with a SD card in the
built-in slot. Windows Vista will boot even with the SD card in the
slot... This makes me believe the problem lies in Ubuntu or the Linux
Kernel itself... I believe the error was something like CPU 0 Soft Lock
or something similar to that.
You can remove the SD card and get Ubuntu to boot, but since nobody
knows about this issue, they will assume Ubuntu is broken. (Probably
true since it doesn't happen with Windows)
