At the moment I did try the patches, but ran into another
issue besides mmconfig. heres the thread:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/16/190
the patches are in there, but if you've already tried
2.6.27 then this tells me that there model has a different
I.D. i.g. macbook2,2 and/or macbook2 than the model
you have and I. if this is the case.
