Public bug reported: Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.17-9-generic
Compiling and installing the nVidia BETA video card drivers (9xxx series) for amd64 and linux-2.6.17-9-generic causes the kernel to panic on boot. The installer works well on -8 and the up to date Dapper kernel. I tried building and installing (apt-get source --compile) the l-r-m package found here: http://beryl-mirror.lupine.me.uk/beryl/ - since it's just repackaging the nvidia drivers, however, the package isn't going to be a confounding variable. The custom l-r-m also works on -9 built for i386. Some form of regression? Either way, it'd be good to fix :) ** Affects: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- (AMD64) Installing BETA nVidia drivers causes kernel panic in -9, but not in -8 https://launchpad.net/bugs/62171 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
