  Well this is a strange one - update tonight delivered new modules for
the kernel.......and guess what. Everything is back to normal!!!!
I would expect this on my other partition where I'm running Debian
Sid/Lenny but not from Ubuntu Gutsy !

But anyway if I have problems again...I'll try your suggestion...I have
tried everything else!

Thanks and I stick to my opinion...judging by what I see here , and in
the Ubuntu forums Gutsy is the
buggiest Ubuntu ever. Makes me sorry I dumped Dapper for it.
