Steve Langasek, thank you for your comment. While it is always appreciated when a developer steps in and advises to a bug report, a portion of your comments don't make sense (which I'm happy to take off report, but they are relevant here). Regarding your comments: >"This bug very clearly has nothing at all to do with the BIOS."
This wouldn't be clear to everyone, and just saying so doesn't clear this up for folks. >"Christopher, it is inappropriate to ask bug submitters to test with a new BIOS for bugs like this - the BIOS is entirely unrelated to the network filesystem layer,..." Ok, but the BIOS does have a hand in a well functioning system, of which the network filesystem layer depends on. No? >"...if upgrading the BIOS did have any effect, it would be *irrelevant* to the bug at hand." Wouldn't the updated BIOS having a positive affect, be the exact reason why one would want to update, in order to eliminating collateral damage from a buggy BIOS?
