A new kernel, 2.26.28-13 is available from the update repositories. Now I guess that when someone installs Ubuntu from the CD image, the kernel will be updated from 2.26.28-9 (which is known to be free from this bug) to 2.26.28-13 (which I hope will be bug-free as well). So, practically speaking, the problem should be solved, even if the bug remains.
The problem is that this bug was first reported when Jaunty was in alpha stage, then in beta, then RC and the with the stable version and it took months for the Ubuntu developers to release a new kernel. The situation is particularly absurd because the problematic kernel was not the one released with the iso image, but an update. I think that the huge delay that the Ubuntu community needed to react to such a critical bug, should make us reconsider the efficiency of the current structures and pipelines. -- 2.6.28-11 causes massive data corruption on 64 bit installations https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346691 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
