Hello! Thanks to Chad and John for you work in trying to fix this problem. I'm not sure if those of you who are trying to fix this problem will find the following information useful, but for the rest of you trying to get to a usable system, there is a temporary fix. When you load up the live CD (or just boot into the OS if you already have it installed), just put the computer to standby mode (sleep). When the system wakes up, the speed and responsiveness of the system is back to how one would expect of a normal working system until you restart your computer. My suggestion, if you are using a live cd for whatever reason, is to put the computer to standby mode after you have selected the "try ubuntu" choice, and let all the components load first.
I sincerely hope the importance of this bug is elevated, as it is a complete show stopper, from personal and anecdotal evidence. Since this bug has to do with the kernel I cannot install ANY up-to-date distribution with this kernel. Since I am trying to recover data from a 3 TB drive, I MUST use a recent kernel as they are the only ones that can handle large partitions. Again thanks to all of you who have attempted to help fix this situation.
