Michael, it probably would have been better to have left this in the other
thread because it really is a continuation of your original problem and
that way, others could have the full story. Remember I warned you that
there were no guarantees with an APT pinning downgrade from a mixed system.
Because you had that mixed system and what you tried (downgrade) is not
really supported, this current problem could be related.

Presumably, you upgraded to that 2.6.24 kernel while your system was Etch
because you need some functionality that it provided. It would be good if
you could remember (or check your system log) if anything else had to be
upgraded at the time you did the original upgrade to 2.6.24.
I'm not clear what you mean by "didn't get through" but it probably
doesn't matter, a squeeze version won't necessarily solve your problem.

If it were my system, I would try a newer kernel, the one from the release
version of Lenny. It might work better with the version of acpid that you
now have.
