Situation:
==========
Hardware: Samsung R719 laptop (with broken touchpad, dont know if it's
relevant)
Distribution : Ubuntu
For me the EC "buffer bla bla" error only appeared with an upgrade to 2.6.38.
The boot is flooded with this message, usually hangs right there, sometimes
goes on to gdm and freezes with no keyboard response. The computer has to be
turned off by removing battery and power cord.
I didn't have the problem before I installed Ubuntu natty that ships with
kernel version 2.6.38.
Also, these problems happen only after the *second boot after a non-patched
install* ie the first boot is always fine?
-----
What I did:
===========
So I applied the ec.c patch provided by Zhang Rui in post #66 (kernel config
unchanged apart from that, ie i used the generic-pae ubuntu flavour i got from
the fresh install)
It does indeed remove the messages and the boot can proceed, but only to find
that other things are now broken:
- power events (ie cord unplug) trigger root partition remounts
- keyboard sometimes becomes dead as before patch
- xorg is unstable
I don't know if they are separate problems or not. I'll keep trying things and
I'm usually posting in the downstream related bug for ubuntu
