I have been resisting putting the patch on as I share
this machine with others and I didn't want to upset anything or screw up in
the order. I suppose I could just boot from one of the other kernels if
something went wrong.

Perhaps someone who has been successful, apparently all of you might post an
extra procedure for those that are used to just going through the normal
update options.
Will this patch be released as an update?

I have a 64-bit machine. It looks like I need to install:
linux-image-2.6.35-25-generic_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_amd64.deb

linux-headers-2.6.35-25_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_all.deb

linux-headers-2.6.35-25-generic_2.6.35-25.43lp642421v201101091714_amd64.deb

Then do I reboot and come up on this and then apply the patch or apply the
patch straight away while running the older kernel?

0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-ensure-root-is-ready-before-running-use.patch

Do I just type as root: patch
0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-ensure-root-is-ready-before-running-use.patch

Does it matter what directory the above patch file is in when I run the
patch command?
