Michael, memtest found some bits of bad memory on this laptop. After many tries of dist-upgrade I'm back on a functional system. So let me know if there's anything I can upload to confirm/close this one.
Also I wonder if theres a bug dealing with BadRAM in Ubuntu. Thanks, Alex -- Corrupted /var/lib/dpkg/status during update to 6.10 https://launchpad.net/bugs/69215 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
