Also, it would be helpful if you could go backward the kernel
versions to point when the problem started. You could try
2.4.20-ben1. If it doesn't have the problem, then -ben5, etc...
(do a dichotomy).
If -ben1 is affected, then we'll need to do something different
(Patches are available on kernel.org)
Ben.
