Public bug reported: My laptop sometimes freezes or crashes on boot. It often happens after a possibly unrelated unsuccessful resume, but once it's started happening, it keeps happening. Sometimes it cures itself, but I've discovered that I can boot successfully by disconnecting the power from the laptop while it's off, reconnecting it, and turning it on.
I seem to be able to induce the crash by booting into recovery mode and starting networking. I can do other things in recovery mode, like fsck; it seems to be the networking that is causing the crash. Sometimes there's kernel panic information shown on the screen before it automatically reboots, but I haven't figured out which log file this is saved in, if any. I didn't have these crashes when I used Lucid on the same laptop, but I did suffer from this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/754752/comments/28 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: linux-image-3.2.0-31-generic 3.2.0-31.50 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic x86_64 AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
