Hi,

We are observing boot failures [1] & [2] on some of our servers (Dell r410) with 2.6.27-stable kernels. I found following commit in upstream tree via a quick search (but I haven't tried it yet) so I don't know whether I'm on the right track or not.

Please let me know if anything else is needed...
