Comment 9 for bug 1369406

I installed linux-image-3.17.0-031700rc5-generic_3.17.0-031700rc5.201409151105_amd64.deb several days ago. It failed on the first two boot attempts, but has since had no problems over about a dozen boots. I hesitate to positively declare that this is fixed in upstream kernels, but it looks very promising.

NB. I have been unable to install the corresponding linux-headers due to unresolved dependences that I have not been able to fix. But that's another topic.
