Well, you are pretty much on your own, then. Really, we cannot help diagnose problems on old kernels with a random set of backported patches in them. If you can provide a reproducable test case that triggers the problem on a recent, pristine tree then we can find the problem and fix it. Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinner david@fromorbit.com
