I'm relieved. I really started to go nuts on this contradicting patterns.
Your box seems to be worse than the VAIO, it has some random surprise generator built in :)

Should be fine. The check is there since late 2.6.21-rc. I really could kick my own ass that I did not remember the nx6325 wreckage in the 2.6.21-rc time frame. Sigh, way too much broken hardware out there to keep track of it.
