Comment 4 for bug 841948

Thank you for your help, I didn't answer you because this bug is a duplicate of bug #793437, however, as it looks like #793437 has been marked invalid I'll try to update this one as much as possible.

Yes, this is still an issue on every kernel version I have tried up to 3.6 it is not ubuntu specific and happens on every distribution I have that includes a linux kernel newer than the offending version (the most precise account we have of this is the bisect), discussion on this bug on launchpad seems to have died down around last year and right now the only activity is in the kernel.org bug tracker: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42725

This summer I ran a bisect to the best of my ability, the results are in the thread but I'll attach them here just in case you find it useful. You can find the log in the attachment and this is the list of possible offending commits:

Because of this bug installing a new version of ubuntu takes many hours and leaves me with an unusable laptop when the process finishes, if you really think this is needed I'll do it. But won't be able to do it until I have free time and do not need the computer, probably in December.

Thank you again for your help.
