I had somewhat similar problems. This is a shot in the dark, but do you happen to have a Nvidia controller in your system? If so, you may have been affected by this bug:

There is a workaround which solved the problem for me.
Thanks for the hint! I tried the workaround but unfortunately I still have the problem...
I cured my nvidia driver problems (which re-arose every kernel update or re-compile) by putting in an ATI video card. Problems since then = 0
nvidia is not fond of the Linux world (compared to ATI).
A more realistic way to say that is that linux is intentionally incompatible with a lot of other software.
Ah, no, it's not. Brian had it right: nvidia does keep a lot proprietary, and does *not* pay a lot of attention to writing their own drivers for Linux.
