[00:17] <trippeh> chrss: if you get that bios message, disable vt-d in bios
[00:18] <trippeh> fwiw, I have such an system too, and when I had it enabled other odd stuff happened. but that was many kernels ago.
[01:43] <chrss> trippeh: ok, thanks
[01:44] <chrss> so it looks like the bug fix i'm looking for got put into kernel 3.17.4
[01:45] <chrss> but there are no 3.17.4 utopic kernels
[01:45] <chrss> pre-built anyway
[01:45] <chrss> can i use vivid?
[01:46] <chrss> vivid veret or something
[01:47] <chrss> btw, i'm looking here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[02:16] <chrss> well, i upgraded my kernel to 3.17.4
[02:17] <chrss> it fixed my wifi bug but seemed to introduce a whole new set of issues
[02:17] <chrss> slow booting, namely
[02:17] <chrss> something about usb hub errors
[02:17] <chrss> oh well, can't win i guess
