Comment 6 for bug 241307

Hi Martin-Eric,

Thanks for testing 2.6.27. Since we just rebased with the upstream kernel I suspect this is likely an issue which exists upstream as well. I'd like to try and narrow down the patch which is causing this regression from 2.6.22 to 2.6.24. The only issue is that we don't have the same hardware here to replicate the bug so would appreciate your help. We'll need to perform a git bisect to narrow down the offending patch. Is this something you'll be willilng to help do? This is obviously not something we expect bug reporters to know how to do so this would be completely voluntary on your part. I've got some documents that should hopefully help if you are interested. The following explains the git bisect process:

Information regarding git and where to pull the ubuntu-hardy.git tree from can be found at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide

Part of doing the git bisection requires building the kernel. Again, this is not something we expect you to know how to do. Information on building the Ubuntu kernel can be found at:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile

I can understand that this may be quite a bit of information to digest but we'd really appreciate your help on this one. Thanks.
