Same for me, generic edgy kernel does not work, I think a 686 kernel does not even exist anymore, but 386 kernel works.
Generic kernel stops booting after my serial ATA HDD has been found. Last message is: "ACPI: PCI interupt something ...." -- Boots fails after upgrade to edgy if using generic or 686 kernel https://launchpad.net/bugs/68548 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
