No.

Jaunty is a development release, and these kinds of problems are to be
expected.

Reverting simply means that we stop receiving bugs reports - that is
very undesirable.

I have not yet been able to reproduce this problem, so we need all the
bug reports we can get - and as much help from people who are
experiencing this problem that they can offer.

For the same reasons, I would ask that people _DO_NOT_ install the
workaround package posted by TJ.

Instead, please assist with debugging this problem so we can fix the
cause instead of the symptom.

Firstly I would like to collect information common to those affected
(since so far it appears limited to a small handful.)

If people could attach the output of "dpkg -l" on their systems, that
would be appreciated. Likewise please run "ls /sys/block", "lvm pvs",
"lvm vgs", and if you have any md partitions, "mdadm -D" on each.
