thanks

I'm unfortunately able to reproduce this bug on an HP dc7900 with the
latest available BIOS (V1.11).

The patch in 2.6.28 looks trivial to backport to 2.6.26: it consists simply of
replacing WARN_ON with WARN_ON_ONCE. See
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.28.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=1de5b0854623d30d01d72cd4ea323eb5f39d1f16

There may be other reasons to prefer 2.6.28 on a dc7900, but I'd still
be grateful if this simple fix could make it into lenny.
