I'm having the same issue, the common point is the motherboard I also use an ASUS Z7S WS and appears to be kernel related as I'm able to boot ubuntu 11.04 with an older kernel.
I've tried numerous distros as well, gentoo, fedora etc...and all crash in the same matter somewhere after version 2.6.35 Also, another thread related to this same issue found here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+question/155035 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/801840 Title: Kernel Panic 2.6.38-xx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/801840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
