Comment 42 for bug 67810

Is there anything new with this bug? I'm asking because it's an absolute showstopper for me; My machine is relegated to XP until something gets figured out...I'm too worried about damaging my HD. I guess I was hoping that some ubuntu-geek-genius had found a way to solve it.....

It seems, though, I suppose, from what I'm reading, that this isn't a solvable problem from the ubuntu end of things, until something comes out of the main kernel development folks? Or do I misunderstand the process?

I filed a bug there under kernel bugzilla #7674 as well, but I can't find anything updated or remotely new there either.
