I have the same problem, beginning from Edgy (Kernel 2.6.17), with my laptop PackardBell Easynote R1902 with VIA chipset.

I always fix the problem by appending "acpi=force irqpoll" to kernel string.

I have to do that in grub configuration file, at every kernel upgrade.

I think this is a tremendous problem.

we immagine a new desktop user that it come from others operative systems... or an "open mind" IT consultant of a corporation that it succeeds to install 20 pc with Ubuntu, and a morning, the job jams because of a stupid kernel problem that only an extraordinary maintenance can resolve.

Bye.
