Did you get any feedback from the Ubuntu guy? It
would be really great to be able to do this
from the regular update.
Also... what change do you think this SEABIOS
fix will work with older releases? It strikes me
that since its an emulated BIOS it should not
care that much about which kernel the host machine
is running.
It that is true, it would be a big win for me as
most of the machines that matter are 'locked down'
due to being critical systems. There is no way
on Earth any of them are going to upgrade to
Precise before sometime in the middle of the
summer when there is a big open maintenance
window.
