Ok, so I loaded Lucid, and then upgraded the kernel to

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc7/linux-
image-2.6.33-020633rc7-generic_2.6.33-020633rc7_amd64.deb

a couple points for the uninitiated like me:

1. Lucid seemed to require a cold reset to boot properly after
installation.  Warm reboots kept bringing me back to a black screen.  I
don't want to digress here, but this was my experience.

2. The grub configuration/version included with Lucid does not display a
menu for selecting the new kernel you added with the "sudo dpkg -i
*.deb" command.  It, does, however, make the new kernel the new default.
You can also hold down SHIFT key on bootup and you'll get a menu.  This
is diff from previous ubuntu versions/configs of grub.

I made an educated guess on which kernel to use, since the link Geir
provided was full of directories. (note: not blaming here, I'm the
ignorant one)  I selected the latest RC for 2.6.33, the "v2.6.33-rc7/"
directory from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=M;O=D

LONG AND SHORT:

Loading Lucid and replacing the kernel did the trick.  I haven't had a
single lockup since I've upgraded.
