Thanks for the feedback guys. Daemacles, the upcoming Intrepid release sounds promising. Now the tricky part is locating the appropriate patch(es) to backport to Hardy. This requires a bit of effort which we'd need your help with since you have the corresponding hardware to test with. You seemed comfortable building the upstream 2.6.25 kernel so I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. . . would you be willing to do a git bisect to try to narrow down the patch to backport. This is obviously completely at your own comfort level but will likely greatly increase the chance of getting this fix backported to hardy. The only other tricky bit is that when doing the bisect you'd need to flip the meanings of "good" and "bad" since you're trying to locate the patch which fixed the bug not caused the regression. The Ubuntu kernel git trees are listed here (you'll want to get the git tree for Intrepid):

We appreciate all the testing you've done so far. Please let us know your results if you do happen to venture performing the git bisect.
