I tried upgrading to the 2.6.30 kernel to reduce the many way Jaunty
freezes, kernel oops, GPU lock-ups, and wireless module lock-ups that
arrived with Jaunty. So many major regressions in a single production
release! Problem is the 2.6.30 kernel is built with an old gcc and that
cause problems with vmware server 2, which I need.

So I downgraded and I am now trying the 'jauny-proposed' 2.6.28-12
kernel and -intel driver, together with the 'jaunty-backports' wireless
(iwlagn) module. Things have been a bit better for ~24 hours. The Jaunty
back-ports iwlagn module is still poked, but just causing kernel errors
rather than total machine lock-up like the stock Jaunty one. I need to
get work down so I have actually been using an ethernet cable to avoid
wireless.

As soon I get some time I'll try to find some way to escape the misery
that is Jaunty, downgrade to 8.10 (my happy place :-) or get the karmic
kernel to work with vmware.
