Hi All,
Just wanted to add some information. . .First, the patch mentioned here
http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/10/17/62 was automatically included in both
the Feisty and Gusty releases. This is because the Ubuntu kernel syncs
with the upstream kernel.
NoWhereMan, thank you for the reference to the bugzilla.kernel.org
report. However, I'm a little concerned with some of the comments
posted by the developer of the patch:
"But in fact the above problems are related to BIOS. So it is more
appropriate to fix this bug by updateing BIOS than the workaround
patch."
and
"The above two patches in comment #127 and #128 can fix the problems for
this bug. But they seem ugly and I am not willing to send the patches to
kernel."
Have you actually verified these patches resolve your issue? It is a
lot of extra work for the Ubuntu kernel team to maintain out of tree
patches. As such they require evidence of upstream submission before
considering to maintain community patches locally. Since the developer
of the patches commented he's unwilling to send the patches upstream,
this might not qualify against the team's standard. Also is seems the
patches are really just to bandaid a buggy BIOS, in which case I'm not
sure they'd be accepted upstream nor maintained separately for Ubuntu.
I'll defer to the kernel team for their comment. Thanks.
