Errr... don't try this at home, folks. It ended up with a very broken
kernel - so broken, that, although it would reboot, it would freeze a
very few minutes after booting, even in single user mode. I managed to
get the machine up again with an old kernel, sufficiently to back up my
home directory, and then decided to reinstall Ubuntu from CD...
unfortunately, Ubuntu refused 10.4 to install my hardware, so I have
reverted to Debian.
