Hello Andy,

Thanks, Your instructions worked for me. My heavy system is back up and
running. It would have been great if the Ubuntu system could somehow
warn the users that a kernel panic might occur if you just stay yes to
the uninstall procedure of crda.

Title:
  Kernel Panic After Removing Package crda

Status in “crda” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Package crda, when uninstalled from an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system causes
  a kernel panic. ( ie no complete boot-up just a frozen system with a
  stack trace on the screen ). Package crda has a priority of optional
  noted in its control file. One would thus not expect a kernel panic
  after uninstalling it.

  To reproduce this bug just un-install package crda and reboot. ( be
  sure its not an important system because it will render it completely
  unbootable even in recovery mode ).

  This happened to an extremely important development machine with lots
  and lots of software installed and configurations. System wide. I am
  hoping that a user backup and re-install of Ubuntu will not be needed.
  I am hoping that a procedure would be developed to get a system out of
  this specific kernal panic state. Some kind of manual low level re-
  install of package crda and dependencies ?
