Comment 5 for bug 422994

Usually you should not subscribe anybody to bugs. People would pick up bugs as they have time and assigning one might have the opposite effect of getting someone to look at it. That said and as I have looked at it now... ;-)
Usually it is a good help to take a recent kernel from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds and install it in parallel. Intrepid (8.10) also has already been succeeded by Jaunty. Have you already tried running from a Jaunty live CD? Just to rule out that this actually is fixed already.
