More fairly stupid newbie questions: The custom kernel I made following Pawel's instructions works flawlessly, so problem clearly solved.
It installed itself as installed as 2.6.35-28. Now there's an update waiting to come in with the same version number. Too soon to contain a fix for bug Pawel identified, and bug 719446 not referred to in changelog, so asume I don;t want it. So I locked "linux" in package manager. But sooner or later a kernel version will show up with the bug fixed. How do I know that's happened?
