Dear Leann,
After I reinstalled Linux (see my first post above) I was not downloading any automatic updates for a few days. Used kernel 2.6.27-7 and everything was OK. Did not try to boot from kernel 2.6.27-9 anymore as it was causing problems.
Today (07/02/2009) I downloaded 244 automatic updates (forgot I should not do it :)) and after restart indeed notices that I have one extra kernel - 2.6.27-11. It was causing the same problem, so the computer is unusable.
But the worst part is that the kernel 2.6.27-7 which was working perfectly after re-installation of Linux is now also screwed up! The same problem.
So I guess now empirically I can confirm that starting from kernel 2.6.27-9 there was some update to a video card of whatever it might be, which causes my monitor to corrupt. Maybe they forgot to include the driver for my monitor (as it is a pretty old Acer tablet PC of 10.4 inch), which is not standard.
I would appreciate your response. I hope the bug can be fixed, otherwise I will either sit without any updates at all or re-install Linux every time I run updates by mistake.
Thanks and regards.
