Then at least the last patch should be undone. When the issue was 
opened, the keys were just ignored. Now, they lock up the system. Note 
that this most likely applies to a lot of Dell laptops. Please let me 
know what I should test.

I thought it was waiting for Sri.

Sorry, the correct one is:

All of these three issues appeared in a not-so-custom situation: I 
installed Breezy in addition to Hoary on a 60 GB drive. Granted, I only 
had about 1.2 GB free, but this is exactly what I'm saying that 
situations like these should be detected and handled somehow. I believe 
a lot of people have such issues with Windows being the first 
installation (apart from the swap space reuse issue).
