Roll the dice, dude :(. You're getting short of options here.
There has *definitely* been some power-related tweaks to the kernel of late.

Michael,
Can you start one thread, called "Michael's random linux questions" or
something, and post all of your questions under that topic, instead of
starting new subjects all the time. Much easier to filter that way :)

Well, I restarted and checked the BIOS man agement settings but there
aren't any power settings in my BIOS. I how do I see if there is an update
available? How do I tell what bios I currently have? I found this with
google:

It has something to do with the battery. It doesn't crash when it is
plugged in.

Huh.
Are there any BIOS updates for the motherboard?
Failing that, what about BIOS controls regarding ACPI or similar power
management settings?
And failing THAT, hell...I'd actually consider going to kernel 3.1:

CDs, but now it won't. What am I doing wrong? I didn't umount the device
with the first eject but to get md5sum to run again I remounted... it
complained but then it ran again. Now I try to umount :

Stephen,
One caveat with clonezilla - it cannot handle a disk to disk clone if the
source has 512 byte sectors and the destination has 4096 byte sectors. Many
of the new, larger, drives use 4096 byte sectors, and this is a problem
than clonezilla has not yet addressed (I have been waiting 6 months

desIt won't allow me to install while running off of the battery. Well,
maybe it will but I didn't try to because I wanted all check marks you

there is a file on the CD titled 5d5sum.txt
is this the file I look at to see if the md5sum is correct? Which one would

This is the contents of md5sum.txt:
5a93a111efeb5305075c5e077715b6cd ./install/sbm.bin

The other point of note, do not install on battery, this is generally
a no no as it will do some CPU intensive things in addition to the
DC/HDD access and none of it with any power management to speak of.

Ubuntu and its derivatives have specifically limited X so that it
cannot be run as root, only as a user.
This is why it complains, other distros that allow x to run as root
are the ones who don't complain because it can spawn root X elements.
this is done as a security choice.
