@Pedro Carrasco : perhaps your directory structure is not exactly what the patch expects.
You might use the alternate patch syntax:
patch /pathto/originalfile /pathto/patchfile

In my case i didn't apply the omnibook patch, because I have another laptop model : samsung r719
NB : Amazingly, when I boot in a (non patched) natty live cd the laptop works fine, and it also works in windows. But when I install natty the problem reappears *on the second boot*
Sure, I don't get flooded with the EC input buffer message any more and at last I can boot, but many other things are broke:
- unexpected remounts
- xorg problems
- keyboard malfunction
- all similar issues to those that had been described for maverick in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610055
I'm wondering if these are separate problems that just suddenly appear because the system actually boots, or if they are connected to the original thing. I suspect the latter because i get similar behaviour with noacpi option at boot and non patched kernel.
Btw, I tried the patch successively on both the "generic-pae" and "generic" config, it's the same problem in both.

So I used the ec.c patch from comment 66 in https:/ /bugzilla. kernel. org/show_ bug.cgi? id=14733
(the recommended one for 2.6.38) Unfortunately it didn't really work!
