Unsure why this would crash, but 3.10 has a major ELF handling rewrite so I'm hopeful that this will be fixed by that.

This bug was fixed in the package module-init-tools - 3.10-1

---------------
module-init-tools (3.10-1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Pretty comprehensive ELF handling rewrite.
      LP: #99547, #342255, #370968, #382676, #387081, #399955.
    - depmod can now check module symbol versions.
    - Comprehensive code cleanup.
    - Documentation cleanups.

  * debian/modprobe.d/blacklist-watchdog.conf: Add iTCO_wdt, it8712_wdt,
    it87_wdt, pc87413_wdt, sbc7240_wdt, sch311_wdt, smsc37b787_wdt,

Is there a new LiveCD somewhere that I can download to confirm the fix, or would I have to wait for the karmic koala to be released?

Daily CD images are published throughout the karmic development cycle:
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

Some of them may or may not work, depending on the state of the archive
of course.

There is a new Alpha 3 image due this week.

Tried downloading the daily build livecd and run it.

It failed horribly. That is, I got crashes on several programs. gdb, dkms, firefox and the nvidia driver, but not a crash on depmod.

I tried to report the bugs with the automated tool (apport) but I'm not sure how many of them got through.

End of story, the nvidia driver (v180) did not activate.

I was running Lucid off Live-CD and was seeing if I could activate the Broadcom B4312 wifi driver before I did any actual install. I had a ethernet connection when this happened. I had just downloaded the Daily build dated 1/13/10

This is also the 2nd crash that was reported by the system, bug report filed.
