Thanks Geir.

I'm now on the specified kernel, running with the desired options.  Just
have to wait for a crash now. :)

Here's some detailed instructions:

Use this command to delete the 9238492 crash files that were generated
from the last crash that you don't need:

sudo bash
find . -name '*.crash' | xargs rm

(just doing a sudo rm -rf *.crash produces "argument list too long"
error)


Since grub2 is shipping w/ lucid, here's the new method for using a kernel option

You can either edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which is not recommended,
because this will get overwritten at certain points (like installing new
kernels))

and just add your drm.debug command

linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.33-997-generic root=UUID=7097xxxb-5a4c-4bxx-
ae11-9xxxxxxxxxx52 ro drm.debug=0x02  quiet splash

OR

you can edit /etc/default/grub, add "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=drm.debug=0x02"
to the bottom of the file, and then "sudo update-grub"

This will append the drm debug command to all lines, but this can be
removed later and updated.  I'd hope that kernels that don't understand
that debug option will simply ignore it.  Although I'm not likely to be
booting those now anyways.

Thanks
