Hi again,<div>actually the options don't read linux 3.0.0-1. I can't quite make out what it reads because it's covered with Letters (P & M) & other symbols. The rest of the msg is correct as far as I can make out.</div>
<div>I copied the "options" from a ticket on the Ubuntu forums. Some other folks are getting the same msg.</div><div><br></div><div>thanks<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Dec 3, 2012 at 5:56 PM, Richard Bloss <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sneydblois@gmail.com" target="_blank">sneydblois@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
