Title:
  kernel crashes at startup/boot

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  We got some strange problems here. We're running a vmware farm with
  several clusters and different cpus. Customers often gave us a ubuntu
  image, we start it and everything is fine. Now one of such machines
  runs on an internal cluster and when we tried to move it to an outside
  cluster (DMZ, we switched it off before, of course) it just crashes
  with segmentation violation. We searched a long time and didn't
  expected the kernel has a problem. But after a coworker changed the
  generic kernel to the virtual kernel (same version!) everything went
  well. It seems that this generic kernel (we're talking 'bout the 64bit
  version here) has this problem with this specific CPU: Intel XEON
  E7340, 2.4 GHz (HP Blade: Proliant BL680c G5). Other HP-Hardware (e.g.
  Intel XEON X5650, 2.67 GHz, Proliant BL460c G6) works fine with
  generic kernel inside a vmware VM. The same kernel-version but
  "virtual" (e.g. linux-image-2.6.32-33-virtual) always works. A picture
  of the segmentation violation of the generic kernel is attached...
