I also thought that but I had to try it.

Well, BIOS installation of 12.04 and BIOS boot of 12.04, that's what the 
howto suggested.

It was as old as the suggested howto said.. well.. I suppose It would be 
have worked if I had git cloned ubuntu-kernel-mbp repo but using not 
current head but a commit from about the howto publication date. I 
didn't think of that.

I'll take a look on this new stuff... probably on next weekend. I'll 
document it too and post it around here.

I'm not used on how the kernel gets developed... Do you know if there is 
any easy way to track if the patch you mentioned has got into mainline 
apart from asking Seth Forshee himself?

If there isn't I can always compare the patch lines with the current 
code ;).

Thank you for all your help again.
