Ok. I installed the karmic kernel 2.6.31-3-generic but I am very sorry to say that the kernel were not able to boot. Not even in the recovery mode! It feels like the X-Server gets started but the screen keeps blank (with some kind of backlight). There must be a severe problem with the kernel (and my notebook) but I ran out of ideas to debug the problem (as the boot output blanks away too fast, ALT+CTRL+F1 had no effect and the /var/log/syslog got corrupt after the restart). Maybe I can ssh into the machine but for that I need a second machine first... Any other clues for me of what I can do?
