Hi,
I'm sorry if any of these problems have already been answered in other threads, I have tried to read through some of them but after half an hour with little joy, here I am.
After my upgrade to Karmic, the following has occured:
I am only able to get into 2.6.31 intermittently (once every 5 attempts). It usually hangs before it gets to the white ubuntu logo (the text saying booting from... ). When I do get in, my keyboard fails.
When I try booting from 2.6.28 (has worked every time so far), my touchpad and sound fail. Also, running alsamixer from the command line tells me:
alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directoryRunning touchpad from System > Preferences > Touchpad tells me:
GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynapticsI am using a 2 year old Advent 7201 laptop, and since it *may* be something to do with this (also since I remember I might have needed to change this after an epic graphics failure on an upgrade to Jaunty), I have posted my xorg.conf file here:

Thanks for any help you can give,
Andy
