[Andy Whitcroft]

This has been fixed by the commit below which was included in
v2.6.31-rc1.  This formed the base of the 2.6.31-1.13 ubuntu kernel.
Therefore I am marking this Fix Released for karmic.

    ACPI: DMI to disable Vista compatibility on some Sony laptops
    
    Linux claims Vista compatibility to the BIOS for a number of
    reasons, but this brings hard lockup on some Sony laptops.
    
    Disable Vista compatibility via DMI for these laptops unless
    we can figure out what Vista is doing for this platform.
