Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let you know the latest Alpha for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 is available. The kernel for Intrepid is based on a 2.6.26 kernel at the moment. This 2.6.26 kernel has the patch which was referenced to have fixed this issue in 2.6.25. For more information regarding the latest Alpha for Intrepid refer to - http://www.ubuntu.com/testing. If anyone would be willing to test and confirm this is fixed with the Intrepid kernel that would be great. But based on the patch existing in the Intrepid kernel and the comment made from Andrew that this patch resolves the issue for him I'm tentatively marking this "Fix Released" against Intrepid.

I'll additionally open a Hardy SRU nomination but it is really a decision to be made by the kernel team if this fix will be backported. I've included below the upstream git commit id and patch description for the kernel team to reference. Thanks.
