This is known for ages. There was a patch by Karol Kozimor shortly after th= e=20 bug became public that was ignored. The code was changed so the patch failed. Christian Aichinger again made a= =20 patch. It was ignored as well. Now, finally the patch is in the mm-source, I asked Andrew Morton to push i= t=20 to Linus so 2.6.15 will be fixed, Andrew said this is up to Len Brown. No=20 Reply from him. Now it seems that 2.6.15 is going to be released soon, the patch still has = not=20 made it into linus tree. This is not "some minor issue", this completely breaks the usage of current= =20 vanilla-kernels on certain Hardware. Can please, please, please anyone in t= he=20 position to do this take care that this patch get's accepted before 2.6.15? The patch is available inside mm-sources or here: http://www.int21.de/samsung/p30-2.6.14.diff If I should send it to anyone else or if there's anything I can do to help= =20 fixing this, I'm glad to help. cu, =2D-=20 Hanno B=C3=B6ck Blog: http://www.hboeck.de/ GPG: 3DBD3B20 Jabber: jabber@hboeck.de --nextPart3346709.eu9g7kuGCc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDqXC3r2QksT29OyARAvqFAKCUFsW05hYc4vUcuyyK+iuOqDlg5QCfRDrI 71WfKBazxYIv9Mi8fsuB2V8= =UW7t -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart3346709.eu9g7kuGCc--
