Thanks so much for looking at this bug, it's much appreciated.

I've installed the 2.6.25 kernel (I had to install linux-ubuntu-
modules-2.6.25-1-386 too, otherwise I got dmesg errors "Could not load
firmware file zd1211/zd1211b_ub. Error number -2", and a useless wifi).

So far, all seems good.  I have at least twice *definitely* managed to
trigger the situation that was causing panics before (attempting and
failing to connect to a network), and there have been no kernel panics.
Bug #120622 is also fixed (I reported on that bug too).

Using this kernel permanently is a bit awkward, due to the lack of
nvidia modules.  Before, I was using 2.6.22 (with Hardy), which meant
having to downgrade nvidia-glx-new to version 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.10
from Gutsy.  This in turn meant downgrading xorg (aptitude sorted this
out for me).

I guess I could now upgrade nvidia-glx-new and xorg to Intrepid, with
some apt-pinning jiggery-pokery to stop me getting the whole lot.  Would
that work?

Thanks.
