I also confim that the edgy 2.6.17 did not give any problem to me in the last month on a Dell D820. The machine was upgraded to firmware A04, so I cannot really say whether:
1) kernel 2.6.17 fixed the issue 2) firmware upgrade A04 fixed the issue 3) I have just been lucky in not hitting the problem so far Somehow, I tend to think that 2) is the correct one. -- Ubuntu corrupts real time clock on some dell laptops https://launchpad.net/bugs/43745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
