So the question is: Why Ubuntu didn't keep this useful patch when Suse proves it's possible to do so with current kernels?
This is a major upgrade stopper for previous LTS users...

I don't want to go to a rpm based distro indeed.

So I'll keep 8.04 for a while and if this problem is still unsolved in 10.04.1 iteration, I think the solution will be much easier: Getting rid of Linux, going back to XP and my "linux distro" will become cygwin.

Maybe that's the safer (my DSDT hack was solving a GPU fan not working issue) and hassle free option on laptops.

As 10.04.1 is the recommended update point for current 8.04 users, it should make sense to integrate this DSDT override patch for this sub release point. This is just keeping the current level of linux hardware quirk!
