Any news, Jay, from your side?

Latest 2.6.37 (Debian experimental) kernel doesn't work neither - no way.

Additionally: Mint Debian (default stable kernel: 2.6.32.5) doesn't work as well, and hang up wih 'noapic acpi=off" option immediately after "Loading /casper/initrd.lz...ready.").

In short: not a single modern Linux (&FreeBSD) kernel handle that well.

I wonder on the hotfix and a possible ETA for that.
The laptop is pretty popular (due to the price and HW configuration) and I've seen many complains about Windows 7 as the only one OS working on it.

Looking forward to hear from you.
