Does this bug affect _everyone_ with an eeePC [900]? A "Tier 1" supported netbook platform.

It certainly destroyed the contents of my SSD.

The workaround works, but there is no mention on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks or elsewhere of this very serious bug. At the very least warning potential users of this bug might save someone from losing all of their data.

This bug has existed for months and has seriously dented my impression of Ubuntu.
