An update package that works off the Hardy Alpha already being installed is not going to help. Those of us with these laptops have not been able to install off standard Ubuntu distro disks, due to this bug and Bug #187671, which prevent those disks from even being booted. And even with this bug fixed, Bug #18671 is still going to prevent booting the Hardy Alpha distro disk. So we don't have Hardy Alpha installed. This meta update package wouldn't trigger an update from the Gutsy kernels to this new kernel, I think?
Which is why I was wondering if it's possible to grab a package, via apt-get or FTP or whatever (I can handle doing dpkg to install the package if I can get the package), that just has the new kernel in it. I have a Gutsy installation with SDHCI blacklisted, so I can test booting the new kernel without Bug #18671 interfering, and without installing the entire Hardy Alpha distro. -- Regression: RealTek 8139 hard-locks system on installation/modprobe (affects Averatec, Philips laptops) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
