Yes, this bug is causing a lot of people to waste time. I fielded an internal request for this patch this afternoon. I appreciate we're post-rc6 at this point, but it does rather suck to be releasing a kernel which freezes on boot on this class of machines. Unfortunately if this patch does cause any machine to break, these will be machines that worked fine up until this point, so that would be a regression, which is worse. Life sucks. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
