We probably will not update 2.6.30 to fix this. OK, I'll wait for 2.6.31. FYI, when doing some tests (e.g. restart vs shutdown + pwoer on), the bug still occurred until I played with the Wifi catcher (I don't know what it does) and wireless switch (disable then re-enable) of my laptop, after which the bug no longer occurred. I don't know whether this is just a coincidence or not, though. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.org> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
