This issue is being discussed at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/330824 ... and one person has said it was fixed in 2.6.28-rc8, and at least one, possibly two people have reported that it has been fixed in 2.6.29. I think you're running some version of 2.6.28 or 2.6.28.y, correct? If these report is correct, the problem may be fixed already in mainline, but I'd like to figure out *which* patch made the problem go away, so we can get it backported into various distribution kernels and into the 2.6.28.* and and possibly the 2.6.27.* stable series. Thanks, - Ted
