Comment 18 for bug 553675

Note I did the apport-collect with the -14 kernel since the -16, -18, -19 kernels don't boot into recovery mode.

When I grep for 2.6.32 in /var/log, I see that I did successfully boot the -16 kernel at least once previously:

root@blumonc:/var/log# grep 2\.6\.32- * | grep -v 2\.6\.32-1[01234] | grep -v dpkg.log | grep 2.6.32-

I think this may rule out my theory that the issue is drm related. But I'm not sure.
