Sir,
 I think that this is due to restarting the machine having Dual/Triple
OS.

 I experienced this type of crash many time, due to restarting the machine.
My experience is,

If you having dual OS of Linux, both are share the single swap partitions (
by using auto guided partitioning using large free space in ubuntu
installation) and when we restart the machine, change the OS when booting,
OS will crash. I used RHEL4 and Ubuntu 7.10.

If you having Dual OS of Linux and Windows XP, Improper shutdown and
restarting machine to switch over from linux to windows will cause System
cash which is normal.

I don't have an solution. Only thing is try to backup your datas and
re-install it.
First install Windows then Linux. edit the grub to add booting option for
windows. avoid NTFS partition for windows.

Please avoid to use Windows with Linux. try to use wine package.


Padhu,
Ooty.

I have used the same swap disk partition shared amongst multiple Linux 
distros (Ubuntu, CentOS, openSUSE) and I have had no problems.

Are you hibernating one Linux distro A and then rebooting to another 
Linux distro B?

I have tried installing multiple GNU/Linux distributions with a single 
swap partition, and even with Windows along it. I have never experienced 
this problem.

I am somehow quite wary on suggesting people to use things over wine. If 
you want to use it and there is no alternative, you genuine Windows itself.
