Same issue here, unfortunately. My laptop is plugged in 99% of the time, and is almost always plugged in while booting. After reading this email, I unplugged it, and rebooted. The issue is still there for me when running on battery power. There's a good chance that this was never fixed properly, as this was the first time that I rebooted on battery power since reporting that it was fixed for me.
I didn't have the problem with the system locking up as noted below, once booted everything works fine. SRElysian wrote: > I just noticed something I haven't before..
