I tried testing the kernel that I downloaded this morning, February 4, 2011
which is identified as Linux 2.6.37-996-generic

The results are not encouraging:

On the first boot, the screen went black and the system apparently went to
sleep.

On the second boot, the screen showed three tiny copies of the splash
screen, side by side, all compressed into the top 15-20% of the monitor.

On the third boot, I waited the amount of time that this system normally
takes to get to a login screen, and then I was presented with the following
information displayed in small white lettering on a black background (as
console messages are during boot time): first, the elapsed time which was
about 17.62 seconds, then a statement which said
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP
and this was followed by a processor register dump.

I quit testing at that point.
