Natty kernel oops 3/6 build iso AMD64 on x120e

[Manoj Iyer]

Tim,

Sorry, have not got a chance yet to do that. The patch I pointed you
to probably will not be accepted in the current form, similar patches
to fix same issue were also not picked up. I shared this info so that
someone who encounters the same issue don't spend 2 days like me doing
a bunch of figuring out.
