Well, the Soft Lockup errors are gone with the latest kernel update, 2.6.17-9-generic -- but then the restricted-modules for this kernel are being held back (this is 22 Sept/06 1900 UTC). We'll keep our fingers crossed. I still have all the problems with various gconf files, and also Synaptic and Update do not accept my password... I wonder how these things can be restored?
