Hi Luke,

Thanks for testing and the feedback.  The Intrepid kernel definitely
sounds promising here.  As you know we're still in the early stages for
the Intrepid kernel so it may be a few weeks before it actually hits the
archives.  But for now I'll go ahead and mark this fix released against
Intrepid.  Obviously if you notice any regressions feel free to reopen
this (ie set the Intrepid task from "Fix Released" to "New").

It might be nice to try and narrow down the patch which will resolve the
panics on the Hardy kernel.  We could then possibly try to get it in the
Hardy 8.04.1 point release.  However, isolating the fix would require
performing a git bisect and doing some kernel builds.  This is not
something we expect bug reporters to know how to do.  But if you're
feeling adventurous, the following links may help:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html#bisect
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild

There are a few things to note however.  When performing the git bisect
you will have to switch the meanings of "good" and "bad" as the
bisection is looking for the patch which caused a regression rather than
the patch which provides a fix.  Also, you can get the git tree for the
Intrepid kernel by doing:

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git

Again, doing the above this completely voluntary on your part.  Thanks
:)
