Hi Tom, Sorry for the extremely delayed response. Thanks for all the testing and the debugging output. I'm glad to hear there is at least a workaround. Just to see if it makes a difference, care to test the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 kernel which is currently being pulled together? It was most recently rebased with the upstream 2.6.25 kernel and is currently available in the following PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive If you are not familiar with how to install packages from a PPA basically do the following . . . Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kernel-ppa.list to include the following two lines: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ubuntu hardy main Then run the command: sudo apt-get update You should then be able to install the linux-image-2.6.25 kernel package. After you've finished testing you can remove the kernel- ppa.list file and run 'sudo apt-get update' once more. Please let us know your results.
