Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-16-generic

I have a Dell 530n, one of the ubuntu Dells that Dell was selling last
summer.  I had a fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy on it, which I upgraded
about a month ago through the update-manager -d process.  The problem I
instantly had was that the computer would refuse to boot with the
2.6.24-16-generic kernel.  However, I could still boot into the old
2.6.22 gutsy kernel and everything seems to be working OK.  When the
beta came out, I thought I would simply do a fresh install, but the beta
cd refused to boot my computer, even despite the CD's own check process
being fine.

I think there must me something wrong between my computer's hardware and
the 2.6.24 kernel.  I have looked through /var/log, int eh dmesg,
messages, kern.log, syslog, and others and cannot find the specific
error message I am seeing.

On bootup, I go through grub just fine, but then the bootsplash screen
just does the Cylon thing for sevral minutes before dropping into an
endless error message.  I do have a screenshot of this on photobucket:

This was the error with 2.6.24-15, but the same thing is happening with
the newer kernel.  Does anyone have suggestions, or need me to get
further information from the machine?
