Please ignore this post. I just realized that after the upgrade the system was booting with the earlier kernel.
Once I modified grub to boot the new kernel everything works fine.

This ticket can now be closed.

Thanks.

Hi richbaldwin

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. If you could test the current Ubuntu stable release(maverick ubuntu 10.10), this would help us a lot. If you can test it, and it is still an issue, we would appreciate if you could upload updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #>, and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue
