Thursday, I found "linux-image-2.6.31-15.50" from Karmic Proposed on the updates list. I installed it successfully and rebooted.
The rebooted system immediately began exhibiting extreme slowness. Logging into Gnome had not succeeded after 15 minutes (when I gave up).
Today, I booted into "Recovery Mode" and ran Aptitude. The download phase went pretty smoothly, but it was 3 HOURS! later when the first "(Reading Database...)" pass had only reached 80% complete -- and I gave up on that.
I booted into linux-image-2.6.31-14, and all was well.
