Here's an update.  Please note that since I receive a digest, there could be
a reply in the pipeline I haven't seen yet.

I was able to copy and paste from Ubuntu's /boot/grub/menu.lst to Musix's
/boot/grub/menu.lst, so I am able to boot the Hardy kernel.

All the previous problems are still there, with the addition that my USB
audio/MIDI interface/keyboard controller is no longer detected by JACK.
Longtime readers may recall that I was able to use this device as a
soundcard and audio interface under Feisty and Gutsy, but that its MIDI port
was not detected.  A 'quirk' was added to the kernel which finally made it
to Ubuntu with Hardy, enabling MIDI on this specific device.  In Hardy on
the MacBook, the device works out of the box--I can record and play back
audio, control soft synths, and record MIDI data in Rosegarden.   The only
thing is realtime doesn't work on the Mac yet, so it's pretty useless--lots
and lots of xruns.  That's why I was hopeful that upgrading to Hardy on the
desktop, which has no problem with realtime, would finally make the whole
studio functional.  I guess I have a few more (dozens of ) hours of tweaking
to do.
