Unfortunately I'm not a developer either and this exceed my level of
competence too. I wish there was someone more knowledgeable and
experienced to help you.

I have thought of something, although I'm not sure it will work.  I was
looking at the dpkg errors you posted in comment #13 and noticed the
first part:

dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image-generic:
 linux-image-generic depends on linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic; however:
  Package linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-generic (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-generic:
 linux-generic depends on linux-image-generic (= 2.6.38.9.23); however:
  Package linux-image-generic is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing linux-generic (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

What happens if you do this singly in reverse? - start with dpkg -configure 
linux-image-2.6.38-9-generic
then linux-image-generic
then linux-generic
?

The package descriptions in Synaptic also imply that this might work,
but I can't be sure.

The kernel in natty-proposed is currently being held up by a couple of
regressions, but it or one of it's successors will eventually be
available via -updates.  IIRC, you will then be able to get and install
updates during system installation.  If not, this fix should be in
Ubuntu 11.04.1, although I cannot find it's scheduled release date ATM.
