I met same problem on my ThinkPad T43p: Occasionally (about 2 out of 5), my Gutsy system got panic on boot. I've installed my Gutsy system using alternative CD with encrypted root partition (no encryption of swap nor /boot). The panic occurred soon after I enter the correct root partition password in the splash screen.
Steps to Reproduce: 1) Boot the system 2) Input correct encrypt filesystem password in GUI splash screen Actual Results: Kernel panic in about 2 out of 5 boots Expected Results: Always good boot Reproducibility: About 2 out of 5 boots. Build Date & Platform Bug Found: Gutsy on an i686 ThinkPad T43p with encrypted root partition. Swap nor /boot not encrypted.
