    Question Latest kernel freezes my system up

    Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 side-by-side with Windows XP.

    Today, all of a sudden my system kept freezing up, forcing me to manually power-down my computer. Well, I tried picking an earlier kernel to boot from and, sure enough, there was no longer a problem.

    Any suggestions??

    This is a common problem with Jaunty and integrated intel graphics cards. Post the output of :
    Code:
    lspci
    to find your video card.

    If this is the case, there are some workarounds, or upgrading to Karmic koala (final release due at the ned of the month) should fix the problem.
