My laptop won't boot Natty beta 2 unless it is plugged in most of the time (like 2 out of 3 times). After it is booted I am able to unplug it and let it run on battery power with no problems. Sometimes I will be able to boot on just battery power, other times it will hang at either a blank, purple screen right after grub2 or at the flashing "_" screen.

My laptop is a Lenovo Y460.

I have the Y560 and am experiencing the same problem. I tried downgrading to older kernels but still have the same issue. I did find this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/775950 and verified that I have the same kernel panic and message happening. There is also someone with a Y560 with the same problem here Lenovo Y560 won't boot unless it's on AC power
