Comment 47 for bug 1104506

peterzay, well, the last thing we would need is a test of the latest mainline kernel. I'm not terribly sure what assessment you made to determine the risk, but if one does a full backup (ex. just critical data, bit-for-bit drive copy via cloning software, etc.) no risk exists. As it stands, we are limited to the Ubuntu Community only, and the at most handful of upstream developers, which does not maximize the probability of this issue being addressed.

Hence, would it be possible to test the latest mainline kernel so we can get upstream developers to check this out?
