Comment 67 for bug 440411

Mikko -- you are correct, very embarrassing :( It didn't end up working anyway, but I'm not convinced i'm using the new modules I'm compiling--perhaps they are loaded from initrd? I wasn't making a new one each time. I've added a unique MODULE_VERSION this time to be double sure (is there another way to tell?).

The patch you reference seems to be the same one Lars said worked way back in comment #12. It didn't work for me back then, but i wasn't generating a new initrd then either. Slavius in #14 did, and it seemed to mostly work for him.

Anyway, I've attempted to re-adopt https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23183 for karmic 2.6.31-20. Assuming my T400 isn't using one of the broken BIOSes, it should work eh?

Will post results and adopted patch if it indeed does work.
