[Bug 43745] Re: Ubuntu corrupts real time clock on some dell laptops

[mimp]

Is that debian bug definately the same issue? The problem i and others have experienced scews up things to the point where the machine will not even post, let alone load drivers.. Seems to be specific to dell laptops (6000 + 6400 series) and ubuntu - not seen anything similar elsewhere.
It happened to me when i was reinstalling from the flight 7 CD, i'd been running flight 6 for some time beforehand with no problems.
