This is a bug report, not a support forum. Please direct any support questions and solutions for installation and similar activities elsewhere. There are a lot of people subscribed to this bug and unnecessary bug mail does nothing but clutter the place up.
To the more hostile: I advise you hop on the ubuntu bugs IRC channel the next time that you want a bug this important to you looked at for triaging - Someone will gladly take a look for you and triage it. I could have sworn that there was an earlier report that I had worked on - one that would make this one a duplicate. It contained very detailed info and links to upstream reports. I cannot for the life of me find it so I'm going to link it up on this one. Regardless, my bad; it slipped past my hundreds of bug reports. If the newer kernel does indeed fix the issue but only with a certain kernel parameter, please open a new bug report, link it here, and have everyone who is affect by that hop over there so that it's more organized. Again, please, this is a bug report and not a support forum. Comments should only be made if they are relevant to fixing the issue.
