Comment 14 for bug 984387

Hi Luis,

Sorry for the delay in testing this.

I tested the Oneiric kernel with the fix on two of our three Dell XPS laptops, one of which is the one from the original report.

- Kernel 3.0.0-12 boots fine
- When upgrading to 3.0.0-19 from -proposed, the system panics on boot as observed
- With your fixed kernel, the system boots correctly and the ite_cir module is loaded:

$ uname -a && lsmod |grep ite_cir
Linux 200912-4906 3.0.0-19-generic #33~postponeirq SMP Wed Apr 18 21:16:51 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
ite_cir 24743 0
rc_core 25797 9 rc_rc6_mce,ir_lirc_codec,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_rc5_decoder,ite_cir,ir_nec_decoder

On the other XPS I get the same (note only the hostnames are different):
Linux 200910-4256 3.0.0-19-generic #33~postponeirq SMP Wed Apr 18 21:16:51 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
ite_cir 24743 0
rc_core 25797 9 ir_lirc_codec,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,rc_rc6_mce,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,ite_cir

So it looks like the Oneiric fix is also valid.

Thanks, let me know if you need other tests done :)
