Couldn't agree more Andrew. It's the easy way out to blame this on hardware, they may have had a valid point but clearly none of us ever had a problem with this until Karmic and the newer kernels. To paraphrase that old saying "If it looks like a Kernel Bug, acts like a Kerrnel Bug then it's a Kernel bug" and I can't help but think "waffle" and "b*llsh*t" by laying the blame on the storage devices.

Unless there's more of us or if we get lucky with and a netbook OEM runs into major trouble with the same problem or some IT hacks get involved to force them to do something about it I'll be booting into Windows 7 far more than I want to. A shame :(

Now where's my logins for theregister.co.uk and theinquirer.net?
