Hi,
I sure want to help you fix the problem. I haven't done this before but it's a good manner to start, isn't it? I'll have time to do that on Sunday.

As the problem happened with the transition from 2.6.27-2 to 2.6.27-3, the git bisect should be done between those two versions.

I suppose I need to have the sources, so I would need to perform:
sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.27-2
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.27-2

and

sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.27-3
apt-get source linux-image-2.6.27-3

When I have the sources (btw, In synaptics, I don't see linux-image-2.6.27-2 anymore and it's removed from my system), how can I then perform the bisect? In what directory should I have to run the commands below?

# git bisect start
# git bisect bad $linux-image-2.6.27-3
# git bisect good $linux-image-2.6.27-2

And what about linux-ubuntu-modules ? Should I do the same with it?

What would be easier for me is to have a step by step explaination of what I exactly need to do.
Thanks for your help!
