[Bug 396286] Re: [Geode LX] [OLPC] 2.6.31-generic: kernel panic near the end of initramfs

[Martin-Éric Racine]

I'm wondering if the patch that was used to produce
2.6.32-10.14+bug396286v2 could be added to the Lucid -generic kernel?

While I realize that it's not a proper fix, let's keep in mind that
Lucid is the next LTS and, as such, the last thing we want is a massive
wave of complaints from users of thin clients (most of which are based
on some Geode variant) upgrading from Hardy that their whole classroom
of LX800-based thin client devices can no longer boot since the upgrade
from Hardy to Lucid.

This of course doesn't dispense us from finding the real cause of the
issues and fixing it properly but, if anyone asks me, a piece of gaffer
tape that somehow prevents a hardware management disaster from taking
place is better than no solution at all.
