Comment 45 for bug 471872

Spinlock, although I've stopped running Ubuntu on that system, I'd be interested in testing any patches for this bug if you have the time to write one. This bug is also present in Debian Testing (what the system is now running), and although I don't think I could patch the bug myself, I can probably forward port or back port the patch a kernel revision or two. Actually, the best bet to get this fixed globally would be to pass any patches upstream as it's clearly a general kernel bug, and not something specific to certain downstream distros. This is assuming it's entirely a kernel bug, and that there's no X component that will also need patching.
