As always though, this kernel will be available to people with the problem (at the above link), however we won't officially release it as a replacement until it is in an upstream kernel and released into the tree by them. This is even worse because it renders the install media worthless on these machines, and I am sorry, but upstream needs to initiate things in the main tree. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
