Public bug reported: I upgraded Natty to the 2.6.38-10-generic kernel but I end up with an endless boot loop. I even tried the 2.6.38-10-pae kernel with the same effect. Basically, the instant GRUB attempts to load the kernel, I get a full reboot.
I'm out of ideas on what to even try to solve this one, as the kernel SHOULD be working on my hardware. I've attached a system info dump if that helps. Can't provide any relevant log files as the system reboots the instant the kernel tries to load. The last working kernel I have is shown on the system dump.
