Hello everyone.

Since I'm a newbie here, I installed an old version of linux (9.10) on a laptop, and decided to follow the dist upgrades to get used to this.
So, after two successful upgrades, I finally got an issue: after upgrading to 11.04 I can no longer boot in "normal" mode.
When booting, I get this error - "Stopping automatic crash report generation" [fail]
Funny thing is that when I try to boot to "Previous linux version", but select the same kernel (2.6.38-13-generic), even though I still see the same error, I'm able to boot into the OS and login.
When I boot into an older kernel, none of this happens.

Any thoughts? :)

I am a big fan of doing a fresh install rather than successive upgrades. If you have a separate /home partition, you shouldn't lose any data. Still, it is always wise to have backup: hard drives fail at the most awkward time.

And I'm sorry, I don't have a clue about your actual question.
