I don't know if that is the same Bug, but after yesterdays apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
i got that bug everytime i booted. Reading through launchpad i found out it might have to do with the linux-restricted-modules (wifi). Voila, apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.17-8-386 and my laptop (Lenovo T60) booted again. -- BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0! https://launchpad.net/bugs/60053 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
