ubuntu kernel 2.6.32-61 is unstable

[Kevin Tapperson]

The linux-image-2.6.32-61 generic-pae kernel is unstable. Running this kernel, I am unable to load Google Chrome. Chrome just hangs and doesn't load. In Firefox, I am unable to click anywhere on the menu or right click anywhere in the browser. When I try to do these actions, Firefox hangs. The Ubuntu Update Manager also hangs when trying to click the Check button to refresh available packages to upgrade. Due to these numerous problems I highly recommend against using this kernel. Reverting to the 2.6.32-60 generic-pae kernel these problems go away.
