@Serge, Thanks for the work on these patches. I did look at the PPA and all I see are the 2.6.38 packages, and since the 2.6.32-29 kernel isn't in the mainstream repository yet I am unsure of where to get it. Could you please point me to where I can get this new kernel with the fixes, so I can

Hi Serge, Yes, that PPA kernel does indeed fix it. I used the PPA kernel in the guest and it made everything work perfectly. So I'm thinking one of those fixes you mentioned solves the problem. Note that I am still using the standard Lucid kernel in the host, but I don't think that's relevant
