Booting into the Gusty kernel and getting a picture of the kernel crash is important. Until then we won't know which kernel module caused the kernel to crash. It is important to get the full kernel crash, and this may have scrolled off the top of the screen. You can use Shift-PageUp to scroll backwards in the console output (and Shift-PageDown to scroll forwards again).
The output from dmesg, and lsmod on the working Feisty kernel will also be useful, as this will show what working modules are being loaded. On the crashing Gutsy kernel, if you get a shell prompt (you don't mention it, but you should drop into a busybox shell prompt after the modprobe failure), you could try the following commands modprobe ide_generic exit This may allow the system to boot up. If it does then the problem is definately due to the ide driver being loaded at bootup. ** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Kernel Team (ubuntu-kernel-team) Status: New => Incomplete -- Crash on boot after Gutsy upgrade.
