Comment 107 for bug 121653

It may be worth noting that looking to other new or upcoming releases of other distros is not going to help. Although I initially was frustrated with Ubuntu (and yes, there are other suggestions for improved communication of the problem to users), the frustration should be pointed towards AMD as CONFIG_SLUB=y is going to appear in every distro coming down the pike.. Fedora 8 has it on by default as well. So, on the bright side, maybe the next monthly drop of fglrx (coming soon?) will have a fix for latest (2.6.23 or greater) kernel support (which is really the root fix), and if not, hopefully they will soon hear it from every distro user (fedora, ubuntu, openSuSE at some point?) that they must be compatible with the slub allocator.
