Ok, you are using your old gutsy kernel! That would explain loads.
try this

sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic

and then reboot. Make *sure* you select
"Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-16-generic" at the Grub prompt (you may have to hit (esc) to get the 
boot options up)

You are running an old kernel and you really need to be running the latest and greatest.

once you boot into 2.6.14-16 you should be able to remove the old kernel with
sudo apt-get remove linux-image-2.6.22-14-386

What *I'd* do is fire up synaptic and do a search on "linux-image" .. and uninstall all the images 
older than 2.6.24-26-generic (do NOT uninstall linux-image-generic).. that process will also remove 
them from your grub menu list and simplify things a bit for you.
