Comment 48 for bug 96480

I belive the problem I have with the long delay loading some acpi modules is related to this, it also affects the 64 second delay loading hald, and other applications which use ACPI, it screws up the ability to suspend and resume correctly, because the scripts don't seem to finish before the system suspends, then things don't come back in the right order, and the machine resuspends because it thinks batt ran out our lid was closed, etc.

I just compiled my own kernel 2.6.19 to get away from it, but I have to say I was on the boat that this problem was a disgrace to allow feisty to release like this, I imagine there are a lot of laptops out there that are going to be affected, if not by a totally unbootable or uninstallable bug, then by a bug which makes using a laptop with feist on it a real PITA.

1. Hard release dates are stupid - it should be final when it's ready
2. Bleeding edge components and packages come at a price where there just hasn't been enough time to test against a broad range of users.
