When looking into other issues it was found that there is an Atom
specific problem with large pages. We will be adding a patch to
automatically work around that in Hardy. But for the time until this
gets uploaded and released, the boot option "mem=nopentium" prevents the
crash.

** Description changed:

  After running the latest updates on my Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.2)
  installation, I rebooted my computer and was met with a multitude of
  errors which resulted in a kernel panic.  The error messages said
  something about virtual memory and paging and invalid addresses, and
  then had the following at the end: kernel panic - not syncing -
  attempted to kill init.  After which I couldn't do anything of course.
  
  I'm attaching the output of the commands requested, however I was unable
  to boot into the 2.6.24-23 image, so all of the information contained is
  probably going to be inconsistent with what you're looking for.  I'll be
  happy to provide additional logging upon request.
