Same here with a ThinkPad R40 and Kubuntu 7.04.

The installation of kmilo-legacy doesn't solve the problem completely. I also had to do the steps posted in the above workaround.
But the workaround I posted before works only partially.

The group of /dev/nvram changes on every reboot back to the kmem group. And I think it would be a bad idea to add the user to the kmem group. This will maybe lead to a security hole. The kmem group is also set on /dev/mem /dev/kmem and /dev/port.

Please fix this bug. It is annoying to figure out what is wrong this time. It worked perfectly with dapper drake.
