did a parallel install of 10.4 LTS today, used jaunty (9.04) until now. Had no problems with the system, just out of date.

The new installed system freezes every few minutes, even if I just start the system (auto log on). I use the INTEL GMA 950 onboard graphic. I heard of problems with some kernels with this chipsset, newer kernels should have this issue fixed - but I had a stable system using jaunty...

Is there a solution other than stick to 9.04?

TIA

There is a bunch of newer kernels backported into Lucid's repositories.

~$ apt-cache search linux-image-generic-lts
linux-image-generic-lts-backport-maverick - Generic Linux kernel image 2.6.35-xx
linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty - Generic Linux kernel image 2.6.38-xx
linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric - Generic Linux kernel image 3.0.0-xx

Do you know in which kernel the problem you referred to has been fixed?

10.04 does use an older kernel. As bodhi.zazen said, you can upgrade to a later Ubuntu version. This will also update the kernel, hopefully fixing the issue.
