Why do you flame the Ubuntu developers if you acknowledged in another 
post that it was a "very stupid mistake on [your] part". I mean, if you 
don't read the info presented to you, what should the developers do to 
prevent your stupidity? Should they hide the information of a new 
version being available? Most people want to know that immediately.

I can understand your frustration - but why don't you downgrade to the 
previous version? Use the installation CD from the previous version. 
Select manual partitioning and don't format the / partition. The 
installer will then keep your /home directory untouched. Granted, you 
will have to install all the extra packages which are not in the default 
installation, but at least you don't get the freeze up and your sound 
should work again.
