[Bug 973] Presario kernel panic with 2.6.0

[Bug 973] Presario kernel panic with 2.6.0

[Thomas Molina]

After a short interruption in testing caused by friends visiting from 
Maine I have resumed chasing a panic which I only see on my laptop.

Please see bugzilla 973 for the gory details of hardware, panic messages, 
config, etc.  

At the request of Zwane, to whom this bug is assigned, I have restested 
with 2.6.0-test2 as well as with the mm5 patch from Andrew Morton.  I am 
still seeing the same panic.

I believe Zwane thinks this is related to Synaptics code, but I am 
unconvinced.  I tried the akpm patchset both with and without Synaptics 
support and it made no difference.  

I apologize for the oops message going to bugzilla being incomplete.  The 
laptop has USB, but no "regular" serial ports, and I have yet to procure a 
USB-to-9pin serial converter.  

Thanks in advnace for everyone's attention.  I will update the bugzilla 
page tomorrow.

I actually wanted to confirm that it still is in -mm since that has 
changes in that area and is what would be considered the latest version of 
the driver and there would be no need to wade about in the stock tree if 
it's not there in -mm.
