Hi Guys,

Looks like this patch hit the upstream kernel but wasn't pulled into Hardy in time. I'm including the upstream git commit id and description below for reference. However, this patch is available in the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel which is available for testing at the following PPA (personal package archive):

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

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

Add the following two lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

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

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. We may be able to get this into the 8.04.1 Hardy point release but it would be good to have confirmation first. Thanks.
