I had the very same problem. It turns out that each time the kernel was
upgraded on my machine, I chose to keep the current file rather than
using the package maintainer's version. After manually editing
/boot/grub/menu.lst to include the most-recent kernel, I rebooted and
voila - the problem was fixed using the kernel 2.6.27-4-generic.
On a side note, prior to updating the grub list, I received the
following error in xorg.conf (file is abbreviated) each time I ran sudo
nvidia-xconfig:
Section "Module"
Load "type1"
EndSection
