Hi Erik,

Thanks for testing the Intrepid Alpha release.  From you comments it
sounds promising.  I'm going to tentatively mark this Fix Release for
Intrepid.

Now the bigger issue is trying to narrow down the patch(es) which
resolved this in Intrepid and see if they will qualify at a Stable
Release Update for Hardy.  That's a rather difficult task as the Hardy
kernel is a 2.6.24 kernel and the Intrepid kernel is a 2.6.26 kernel.
The amount of patches that went into between the two versions is quite
large.  How comfortable would you be performing a git bisect ?  It will
require some knowledge of building the kernel.  This is obviously
something we do not expect bug reporters to know how to do and it is
completely at your own comfort level if you are willing to give it a
try.  The git bisect basically helps narrow down the exact patch that
can cause a regression or resolve a bug.  The only reason I ask for your
help with this is because this issue really is hardware specific and
since you have the hardware to reproduce the issue, you're likely the
best candidate to help with performing the git bisect.  But again, this
is completely your choice.  More information regarding how to perform a
git bisect can be found here:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html#bisect

The only small change is that you'll have to switch the meanings of
"Good" and "Bad" since you are trying to isolate the patch which
resolved the bug, not caused the regression.

Information regarding the Ubuntu git kernel tree for Intrepid can be
found at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide

And finally information about building the Ubuntu kernel is here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

Again I completely understand if this is a bit overwhelming and not
something you'd be willing to do.  But given the limited kernel
resources we have, we really do appreciate all the help we can get from
community members like yourself.  Thanks.
