I had the same error message in a dialog box just after starting the 9.10 live cd. I could not get any further details and report it here because I was not connected to the internet, as I had just started it. But I managed to get something out from the syslog,that looked like a bug, I am not sure if this helps.Here it goes: Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126345] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10010000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126349] Modules linked in: binfmt_misc ppdev lp parport snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi joydev arc4 snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq ecb snd_timer snd_seq_device iptable_filter sdhci_pci iwl3945 sdhci iwlcore ip_tables uvcvideo videodev v4l1_compat dm_crypt psmouse snd serio_raw dell_wmi x_tables mac80211 led_class dell_laptop soundcore cfg80211 dcdbas snd_page_alloc squashfs aufs nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat dm_raid45 xor usbhid usb_storage ohci1394 video output ieee1394 tg3 intel_agp agpgart Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126417] Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126421] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu) Inspiron 1420 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126424] EIP: 0060:[<c03699d4>] EFLAGS: 00000206 CPU: 1 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126430] EIP is at acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x255/0x286 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126433] EAX: c080fe04 EBX: 000000a8 ECX: ffc2f606 EDX: 0180e000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126435] ESI: 00000000 EDI: f71e9cc0 EBP: f707df70 ESP: f707df48 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126437] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126440] CR0: 8005003b CR2: 004102a8 CR3: 0081a000 CR4: 000006d0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126442] DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126444] DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126446] Call Trace: Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126453] [<c0468406>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x76/0xd0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126457] [<c010202c>] cpu_idle+0x8c/0xd0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.126462] [<c056c096>] start_secondary+0xc6/0xc8 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128203] BUG: scheduling while atomic: swapper/0/0x10010000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128207] Modules linked in: binfmt_misc ppdev lp parport snd_hda_codec_idt snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi joydev arc4 snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq ecb snd_timer snd_seq_device iptable_filter sdhci_pci iwl3945 sdhci iwlcore ip_tables uvcvideo videodev v4l1_compat dm_crypt psmouse snd serio_raw dell_wmi x_tables mac80211 led_class dell_laptop soundcore cfg80211 dcdbas snd_page_alloc squashfs aufs nls_iso8859_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat dm_raid45 xor usbhid usb_storage ohci1394 video output ieee1394 tg3 intel_agp agpgart Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128257] Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128260] Pid: 0, comm: swapper Not tainted (2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu) Inspiron 1420 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128263] EIP: 0060:[<c03699d4>] EFLAGS: 00000206 CPU: 1 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128268] EIP is at acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x255/0x286 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128270] EAX: c080fe04 EBX: 000000a8 ECX: ffc2f606 EDX: 0180e000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128272] ESI: 00000000 EDI: f71e9cc0 EBP: f707df70 ESP: f707df48 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128274] DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 00e0 SS: 0068 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128277] CR0: 8005003b CR2: b7852000 CR3: 36769000 CR4: 000006d0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128279] DR0: 00000000 DR1: 00000000 DR2: 00000000 DR3: 00000000 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128281] DR6: ffff0ff0 DR7: 00000400 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128283] Call Trace: Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128288] [<c0468406>] cpuidle_idle_call+0x76/0xd0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128291] [<c010202c>] cpu_idle+0x8c/0xd0 Oct 30 16:17:45 ubuntu kernel: [ 92.128296] [<c056c096>] start_secondary+0xc6/0xc8
