Hi Loic,

So lets start this bisect.. I'll apologize in advance about the number of test kernels you'll have to go through. Bisecting between a major version jump is the most painful and will take 10+ iterations I'm guessing.

First, I'd really like to eliminate the possibility that this was magically fixed between 3.0-rc7 and the final 3.0 release. So if you could just update and try the latest 3.0.0-7.8 Ubuntu kernel we just uploaded, that would be great. It was rebased onto 3.0 final. Assuming that fails, lets proceed with the following:

Lets eliminate the set of Ubuntu patches so we can focus on bisecting just the upstream commits. If you could, please test the following 2.6.39 mainline kernel and confirm it works:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.39-oneiric/

If you could then test the 3.0-rc1 mainline kernel and confirm it fails:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.0-rc1-oneiric/

Finally, please test the following kernel which is a bisect point between the two (ie commit c44dead70a841d90ddc01968012f323c33217c9e)

Let me know your results and we can continue from there. Thanks.
