Public bug reported:
I just got a brand new Thinkpad T61P and I've installed Ubuntu on it
(after working through some troubles). In hopes of getting wireless
working (the hardware is iwl4965-based), I upgraded to gutsy.
Unfortunately, the kernel crashes during boot when the wireless is
enabled via the "kill switch." The kernel trace doesn't appear to be
dumped into any files, presumably because it kills the kernel so
abruptly.
The symptoms are that a little way through the initial boot, the
progress bar stops, and the caps lock LED blinks on and off.
If I boot in "rescue mode," after exiting the prompt to allow the boot
to continue, it gets a ways through the process then dumps a bunch of
kernel crash data, more than a screenfull.
Under feisty, of course, there were no 4965 drivers, so there's no crash
when using the 2.6.20 kernel.
