Hello Andy, Thanks, Your instructions worked for me. My heavy system is back up and running. It would have been great if the Ubuntu system could somehow warn the users that a kernel panic might occur if you just stay yes to the uninstall procedure of crda.

( ie no complete boot-up just a frozen system with a stack trace on the screen ). Package crda has a priority of optional noted in its control file. One would thus not expect a kernel panic after uninstalling it. To reproduce this bug just un-install package crda and reboot. ( be sure its not an important system because it will render it completely unbootable even in recovery mode ). This happened to an extremely important development machine with lots and lots of software installed and configurations. System wide. I am hoping that a user backup and re-install of Ubuntu will not be needed. I am hoping that a procedure would be developed to get a system out of this specific kernal panic state. Some kind of manual low level re- install of package crda and dependencies ?
