Hi Guys,

Just a quick update. I did indeed milestone this for 8.04.1 but the final decision to backport the patches will be up to the kernel team. I just didn't want this to fall off their radar for consideration.

However, as an alternate solution, care to test the Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel which was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel and also contains the patch referenced here. It is currently available in the following PPA:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive

If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following:

Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main

Then run the command:

sudo apt-get update

You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. Please let us know your results. Thanks.
