Comment 30 for bug 477256

I think that these are different problems, one reason being that the lockup I experience can sometimes take an hour to appear, whereas bug 447892 seems to cause lockups almost immediately. I can test the custom kernels you mention and see what happens. Presumably, if 800 works, I don't need to test the other two?

I understand your point about going through a load of trouble for nothing, and I'd be happy to test Lucid on this laptop. As it happens, I have a spare partition on it which I can use for Lucid without upsetting the Karmic install.
