OK, since the early releases of Intrepid I have not had this particular problem. Though there have been a lot of freezeups during boot on this particular machine I have not seen the "Eeek!" message or the freezeups while using the desktop.
But today I upgraded to the following: Linux blackbox 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux and the error is back! Xubuntu booted fine then, as before with Hardy, suddenly froze while I was using Firefox at the desktop.
