The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:
1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.20 A detailed discussion about this case has been archived via the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list here: http://www.mail- archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg11361.html I'll try to provide only the most immediately relevant details here to hopefully avoid providing too much noise. - This doesn't appear to be a hardware failure because the machine with the failure dual-boots into WindowsXP and both Nero and cdrecord-2.01.01a35 are able to burn CDs and DVDs. - First observed the problem on an Edgy Eft install but I didn't record any of the failure information at the time. - Now on Feisty Fawn and yesterday I tried booting a Gutsy Gibbon kernel (2.6.22-11) without success, though the failure reported different problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- skynet /tmp/tmp cdrecord --version Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd Wodim 1.1.2 Copyright (C) 2006 Cdrkit suite contributors Based on works from Joerg Schilling, Copyright (C) 1995-2006, J.
