Chris, Thank you for those kernel-update instructions. That was the least painful kernel update I could have imagined. I rebooted and verified (via uname) that I am in fact running the new kernel. After looking at dmesg I can confirm that the exact same error is still occurring though. I re-read your previous email and saw that you recommended the 3.3-rc release if 3.2.6 didn't suffice. So I did the same thing with 3.3-rc. And I found the same error (or what appears to be the same error), again:

Please let me know what additional information I can provide; or if I should simply throw in the towel (not my first choice). Thanks again. -- Curtis Jones On Feb 19, 2012, at 05.41.09, Chris Samuel wrote: > Hi Curtis, > > On Sunday 19 February 2012 13:47:35 Curtis Jones wrote: > >> I don't want to push this too far in the direction of being an >> Ubuntu support thread; but do you happen to know of any convenient >> methods for installing a 3.2.x kernel on Ubuntu?
