I have the same laptop model. And the same bug. And I get a kernel panic when the lid is closed. Set the bug to confirmed? Probably won't help much but here is another kernel panic photo... messages are a bit different to the above.
I haven't got the time to check... but I don't recall the bug existing with 64bit Ubuntu, just 32bit. ** Attachment added: "screenshot of kernel panic (2.6.24-17, I think)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14688944/kernel%20panic%20for%20closed%20laptop%20lid%20on%20HP%206710b.jpg ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Closing lid results in kernel panic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228399 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
