I share the same concerns as franzb. This bug could affect a large number of computers out there, and Ubuntu's reputation will suffer when the latest release doesn't even boot on many of the machines where older releases worked correctly. This was a problem with Edgy compared to Dapper for many people (luckily not me).
The number of people who have commented on this bug is small, but how many others are waiting to get hit during the next upgrade cycle? Also, short of making sure 2.6.20-12 ships as an alternate kernel option in Feisty, I don't know how I could even install it on affected machines without making my own boot media, installing Feisty, then manually replacing the installed kernel with the old packages. And even then, I'd be prevented from upgrading any proprietary module packages indefinitely (nvidia-glx, in my case) until Ubuntu fixes their kernels. This is a pretty disappointing resolution. -- Kernel 2.6.20-13 acpi bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96480 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
