It's certainly worth a try. The JMicron fix is in the 2.6.18 kernel which is now released so if that's in Edgy it may do what I want.
I /think/ that Ubuntu edgy is only 2.6.17 but that they have backported the fix as many people are having the problems that you are. Of course as it is still beta you may be out of luck.
I'll download the installation ISO and have a go this evening.
Certainly take a look, as it does look like the fix will be in the final release towards the end of october. Even if you end up using the Beta for a few weeks it won't be a disaster.
Yes, it would be fine, initially I'll just be playing around to see if VMware satisfies my needs or not. It'll take a while playing with VMWare and so on so if I need to re-install a released version of the host OS in a while that's not a problem really. Not to mention that I'd be able to keep any guest OS images and carry on using them after the host re-install.
