Stay away if you are using the Intel e1000 video card* (for now). Can permanently damage the card. Notice appeared yesterday on lwn.net. * Intel cards not having the "e" are supposed to be safe. |

It's apparently a problem with ubuntu and fedora test releases as well - |

>> The EEPROM corruption is triggered by concurrent access of the EEPROM read/write.
>> Putting a lock around it solve the problem. http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/08/09/23/133258.shtml http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2... |
