Wash, Linux has come a long way and Ubuntu, in particular, is "Linux for Human Beings.' All one needs to do is press Esc at startup menu, choose previous kernel then continue. Nothing like "out-of-this-world";) The good thing about Ubuntu version updates is that they retain several previous kernels versions such that one always has options on the kernel to boot from. rgds, 2009/4/29 Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com>:

A workaround. If you upgrade (as I did), boot with your old kernel. It works! <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/350904>
Booting with the old kernel doesn't affect the system at all? Can't the new kernel be recompiled to include the necessary modules from the old one? (Backwards compat). Ok, I am no Linux guy, so I am shooting in the dark.
