Same problem here... The soft lockup occurs in different stages each time, but always before X is started.
Dell M1710, Core Duo @ 2.16GHz I should mention that my 2.6.17-7-generic boots, while my 2.6.17-10-generic does not. I'm a bit afraid to regenerate the initrd for the -7 kernel (still using the old splash screen) as I think that might uncover that problem for the -7 kernel too. But I'm not sure. This makes a default edgy install unusable on potentially every modern Dell laptop, as the chipsets are all the same. Please raise priority. Note: also using the ipw driver. -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! https://launchpad.net/bugs/64125 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
