Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

I put the 6.06 Server CD I burned in and followed the installation
procedures for a LAMP server. There were no problems during the
installation.

However, I went I go to actually boot, the following happens. The
computer turns on, and GRUB is able to load just fine, but whichever of
the 2 kernels I try to boot (either the regular server one or the
recovery mode one), the same thing happens. It detects the ext2
filesystem properly. Then I see initrd [kernel location], followed by
Linux [something, too fast to read it], saveddefault, and boot.

Then the computer reboots itself, and so if I let it sit, it just loops
through turning on/trying to boot kernel/turning off/etc.

In the past, the computer has had some power supply issues, so I decided
to change the power supply, but replacing the power supply with a
correctly functioning one makes no difference in the aforementioned
behavior.

I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the server kernel.

(Hopefully I did this right...I'm new to the Ubuntu distro...)

** Affects: linux-source-2.6.15 (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
