Hi Dupond,

As I noted in our IRC converstaion I believe the Ubuntu kernel team
recently rebased the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel with the
upstream 2.6.26-rc4 kernel from kernel.org.  The Intrepid kernel is
currently available for testing in the kernel-ppa (kernel personal
package archive) but it looks like the latest version it is still having
some build issues so is not yet available.  I'll try to update this
report when it is ready for testing as well as providing instructions on
how to install this newer kernel from the kernel PPA.  It would be great
if you could test when it's available just to verify this is resolved in
the upcoming release.  Then we can focus on trying to backport a fix for
Hardy.

In the mean time you also mentioned that this is no longer and issue
with the upstream 2.6.26-rc4 kernel.  It would be great to narrow down
the exact patch which would need backporting.  You mentioned you tried
applying a few patches but were unsuccessful.  Another approach you may
want to try is a git bisect.  That should help narrow down the exact
fix.  If you are not familiar with doing a git bisect, take a look at
the following document:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html#bisect

The only tricky part is you will have to switch the meanings of "good"
and "bad" when performing the bisect as it tries to isolate the patch
which caused a regression rather than the patch which presented the fix.
Also in case you didn't pull the upstream kernel source from the git
tree, you can get it by doing the following:

git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

Let us know if you are able to narrow down the patch.  Also feel free to
ping me again on IRC if I forget to update this report with the
instructions of how to install from the kernel-ppa.  Thanks.
