[SOLVED] Limited Joy

After upgrading to 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic (from 2.6.20-16) on a Sony laptop model VGN-n320 I get the following message,

Starting up ...
...
[ 36.603986] ACPI: EC: acpi_ec_wait timeout, status = 0, expect_event = 1
[ 36.604038] ACPI: EC: read timeout, command = 128

...stays on that screen about 70% of the time. The other 30% of the time I don't see this screen and it boots normally.
Any alternative to having to reinstall?
Additionally the box doesn't see the SD or Memory Stick slots.
Sorry if wrong forum.
TIA for any help.
