I understand - but my point was that mine did not erase.  It sure
looked like it had - but it didn't.  All I am suggesting is that just
because it "appears" to be erased, it doesn't mean it was.

Before folks run off to replace their permanently ruined hardware
(as suggested on the Ubuntu list) they should at least try to drop
back to 2.6.26.
