It looks like the 2.6.35-* versions of the kernel do not have the same problem.
This worked for me: - If you don't have an ealier kernel version to boot into; in VMware, disable acceleration for the VM. (Right click: Edit Settings... -> Options -> General -> Disable acceleration) - Start the VM. It'll run very slowly with acceleration disabled. - Install one of the 2.6.35 kernel versions. Example: linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic - Shut down the VM. - Re-enable Acceleration if you disabled it above. - Start the VM. Right at the start, as grub boots, hold down a shift key. Select your newly installe 2.6.35-* kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659422 Title: Boot failure after upgrading kernel to 2.6.32-25-generic -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
