Yes it occurred in the previous version and yes, I have tried about a
dozen other kernels.

I would rather do some triage to actully identify the issue instead of
getting in an endless loop of trying different kernels in the hope that
some unrelated patch will have an affect.

Title:
  Faulty laptop battery or AC throws system cache for a loop

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After a random period of time after a fresh boot, the system cache
  gets corrupted. This is shown by hdparm -T.

  Before system cache corruption:
   Timing cached reads:   1804 MB in  2.00 seconds = 902.88 MB/sec

  After system cache corruption:
   Timing cached reads:   258 MB in  2.00 seconds = 129.10 MB/sec

  Either the system battery or the AC adaptor is not functioning
  correctly, the Dell bios at times indicates that the AC adaptor is not
  a valid Dell product, though it is. In any case, the battery does not
  charge, but remains at 0%.
