After upgrading from 2.6.36 for other reasons, starting certain apps like wine utorrent.exe will cause a kernel oops. I run the x86_64 version of Ubuntu 10.10 with various modified packages all around and the 2.6.37-rc1 kernel from the kernel PPA team. I experienced the same with a kernel I tried compiling myself too.
