(Get the code!)
I would like to report that I've been using the Ubuntu kernel 2.6.34-52.1 from Brian Rogers's PPA located at
https:/
with considerable success. For those who use an i852/855 chipset and are having problems with the Intel graphics, in addition to the filesystem corruption problem, this is worth a try.
Although the updated kernel is not 100% stable, the increase in stability over even the mainline 2.6.34 kernel is quite welcome. Now not only are video-related crashes much less frequent for me, but when the system does crash, I don't lose the entire filesystem.
Instructions for installing are at the above link, with the usual caveat that this method is completely and utterly unsupported by Ubuntu, Canonical, and probably even Brian Rogers, so beware that using the PPA kernel could result in your entire system turning into a block of semi-sentient Swiss cheese and walking away to take a Carnival cruise.
