In the meantime I didn't test only with the Desktop Live CD but also installed the system on a harddisk. Surprisingly the kernel oops doesn't happen when booting from the harddisk even with kernel modesetting enabled.

This has been tested on 2.6.32 -14 -15 and -16.25 kernels.

But I've been curious and built another Live CD based on the Lucid Live CD with the UCK (Ubuntu Customisation Kit) and replaced the kernel on the live CD with the 2.6.32-15 and after that with the 2.6.32-16.25 kernel versions.

In any case the kernel oops occurs when only booting from the Live CD. Therefore it may be an interaction with the Syslinux/Isolinux stuff used for booting from the Live CD. Perhaps this bug should be then be filed against this package.

With the 2.6.32-156.25 kernel the system comes up to a point where it is possible to reboot again with CTRL-ALT-DEL keys.

Please find the boot messages attached in the file lucid_a3-2.6.32-16_boot.txt.
