Comment 41 for bug 908560

I'm also running the latest BIOS, and the oops happens every time I plug it in while running. It also gives me a black screen of death if I try to resume from suspend or hibernate and have plugged or unplugged it.

Either way, "Flash your BIOS" isn't a solution. For every story I've heard of some problem getting fixed by a BIOS flash, I've heard ten of computers that got bricked because something stupidly trivial interrupted the flashing process. If it can be patched in software- and this can, because either MS or Dell has a working driver for Win7- then we need to patch it and stop telling people to brick their computers.
