Leddy wrote: This is very similar to earlier bug 47271, except an even later bios updated then broke it again. So this is the sequence of events: * Old bios : old kernel == works * bios upgrade (VBIOS 2132) : old kernel == broken * kernel upgrade (backport f47166d2) == fixed * bios upgrade == broken * kernel upgrade (3.2 or later) == works We would like help identify which kernel commit fixes the problem again so that we can backport to 3.0. The interesting thing is if we _revert_ f47166d2 in the 3.0-stable branch with the latest bios, it works again. There is also a lot of info in the ubuntu bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1041315 This is only a bug in the 3.0 stable series, introduced by commit f47166d2 in bug 47271.

Looking at f47166d2 I don't have any idea what could a candidate for backporting to 3.0 from 3.2.

It's yet unknown if 3.5/3.6 have fixed it, we'll test that next.

The commit needs something else in addition to it to fix the bug. Just needs to be found out what it is.
