Unfortunately your advice to switch to 10.04 did not show any effect. A try with a recent Debian (5.04) crashed at exactly the same position (detection of hard drives). A recent Suse (11.2) works fine.
I really liked Ubuntu (in previous versions), so please help me to get it running. Any clue to extract some information out of a totally frozen system is highly appreciated.
