Next I installed http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux- image-2.6.27-2-generic
First the good news: This kernel almost works! Concerning my original bug-report: my system didn't really freeze over the last 3 hours. The desktop experience is a lot better, but still not perfect. Animated gifs are still not going smoothly and also pressing and holding a key, the repeat rate stutters. It seems the stalls are now limited to some milliseconds in length. About once a minute, the turning sphere from http://www2.forennet.org/images/faces/avatar-444.gif "slows down" drawing some frames in slow-motion. Though there is not more than 15% CPU-usage total, I get the impression, the system is heavily occupied. In addition there is a multitude of other issues: - most annoying: NO SOUND ... seems to be the same as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/68659 - no 3D-acceleration -> I guess I have to wait for ATI to compile their latest drivers for the 2.6.27 kernel - no VirtualBox -> waiting for Sun - http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/eviocgbit-bug.html -> it seems my synaptics touchpad driver needs an update I really appreciate, how easy it was to switch the kernel.
