The problem is still here... it ain't goin' away!!
Linux 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
The only difference I noticed, now when it locks up (and still does, after approx. 4 hours in standby--even while connected to AC), it only takes a couple of power cycles to actually restart: it used to take about a dozen power-on attempts to actually restart the laptop (i.e. press power button, you hear the CD head moving but screen didn't light up and laptop didn't boot. then, after a couple of seconds, the cycle started over, again to no avail.)
