Hi Guys,

I just quickly chatted with the ubuntu kernel team. Unfortunately an SRU (stable release update) to add quick support for you systems most likely won't be done. However, care to test the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel? If this issue still exists, we can try to get it resolved there. It was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel (which contains the patch you've referenced) and is currently available in the following PPA:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive

If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following . . .

Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Then run the command:

sudo apt-get update

You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. After you've finished testing you can remove the kernel-ppa.list file and run 'sudo apt-get update' once more. Please let us know your results. Thanks.
