Comment 170 for bug 541492

Tim,

Thank you for your advice. Are you also still running the old
2.6.34-v9patch kernel from Brian Rogers? Why don't I need the updated
modules from Glasenhardt's '855gm-fix' like everyone else?

Anyone following the new instructions in the sticky is taken to Brian's new
kernel 2.6.35rc4-131-ge467e10-v9patch-generic. The dkms failed for the old
kernel. As an experiment, I now installed the new kernel and
'855gm-fix-exp' (the one with intel_wait_for_canary_flocks() turned off).
 Why should one stick with the old kernel, if that is what you recommended?

My apologies if this is not the right forum. And thanks to everyone who is
working on this bug.

Felix
