I actually can't. It works well on a backup 2.6.31-rc6 kernel
but when I build a new one of this same version, the problem
happens again. And I don't have the config of the one that works
(and no /proc/config.gz as well).

So I suspect this is something that happens with some specific
configs only.

Anyway, once I get more clues about this, I'll tell you.

Thanks.
