But the correct way would be to find out if it's a kernel problem since the 
HAL change would be only a workaround and we would like to prevent such 
workarounds which may prevent underlaying bugs to get fixed. Especially in 
this case since some ppl. in this bug and one of the other say, that it 
worked with other kernel versions.

Do you have any chance to fix your HAL package and let the bugreporter test if 
this change fix the problem without increasing the timeout?
