laptops to crash After re-installing twice I have found what caused my acer aspire one to crash. It is one or all of the following updates.. linux headers 2.6.24-23 linux headers 2.6.24-23-generic linux-image-2.6.24-23-generic All have to do with the Linux kernel. When I re-installed for the second time I updated everything except these updates and it re-booted fine. If you have the kernel panic on your acer aspire one dont install this updates and remember this is for ubuntu 8.10 on acer aspire one 160 GB
