We're trying to identify the changes that trigger the problems. Since
the released Karmic works all right, and current Lucid doesn't, we
want to identify either a upgrade in Karmic that introduces the
problems you see in Lucid, or a downgrade in Lucid that removes the
problems. It may be that the kernels do not influence this, but it is
the easiest thing to test because of the pre-compiled mainline
kernels, so I suggest we do that first.

Yes, it would be nice if you could test v2.6.32-rc2 and newer and see
which one is the first to fail. We may then want to do a more
fine-grained search between the last rcX that works and the first rcX
that doesn't. We don't need the logs at this point. I don't think they
will be more useful than the ones you already uploaded.

Sure. For a while I thought your bug was the same as the freezes
reported on Karmic, but that it manifested itself a little differently
in Lucid. Since Karmic runs fine, that cannot be the case.
