Hi Everyone,

Thanks for testing and the feedback.  I'm glad at least the Intrepid
kernel is working for you.  Now the tricky part is to narrow down the
exact patch(es) which resolved this issue.  There are a vast amount of
changes between the 2.6.24 and 2.6.25 kernels.  Is anyone here familiar
with (and willing to perform) a git bisect to try and isolate the fix?
This is typically not something we expect you as bug reporters to know
how to do.  However it is helpful to the kernel team, especially since
you would be able to confirm the fix.  We could then try to get this
into Hardy's 8.04.1 point release.  I'll post some links to some docs
which may help if you're interested.  But again, this is completely at
your own comfort level:

http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html#bisect
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

Also note, that for the bisect you'll have to switch the meanings of
"good" and "bad" as the bisection searches for the patch which caused a
regression, not the patch which fixes an issue.

Additionally, you can grab the Intrepid kernel source git tree from by
performing:

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

Hope that helps.  Thanks.
