Thank you for testing.

Strange... Olie reported on bug 447892 that the last one working for
him was 2.6.31.1 and that 2.6.31.2 would freeze. It is possible that
the problems are slightly different. Could you check the kernels I
have compiled and put at http://www.kvante.info/855GMfreeze/ ? For
Olie everything up to 599-git522bb74 works without freeze and the
kernels from 600-git7abf3aa and above would freeze. Could you double
check that 600, 799, and 800 works without freeze for you? It is
entirely possible, but it means we have more work to do on this one,
and I would like to be sure before we start.

I would also really like to see some test of Lucid. It would be too
bad if it turns out that some later changes fixes this in Lucid, and
we go through a lot of trouble for nothing (it is unlikely that this
can be fixed with a Karmic update).
