One outcome of having an alpha released installed on your machine is the massive amounts of daily updates – with a major kernel update every once in a while. Things were going pretty smooth with the Karmic Koala until it was on 2.6.30-9 kernel.

Just this morning, there were a bunch of updates listed in the update manager. Among the things that were in line for the upgrade was a brand new kernel, 2.6.30-10. The updating process itself went pretty well. Then when it was time to restart, I picked the newly updated kernel from the Grub expecting nothing unusual.

After selecting Kernel 2.6.30-10, all I got was a green screen and the computer refused to do anything past that point. The only alternative was to restart and boot with the 2.6.30-9 kernel which I am currently using to make this post.

It not something one sees that often with Linux distros. I saw it today!

P.S.: The newer kernel 2.6.30-10 has been fixed. It boots and functions normally now.
