I really appreciate your helping narrow down this issue. If you have the time, could you test the three 2.6.10-rcX patches? You can find them here: ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ And they apply independently (not cumulatively) ontop of 2.6.9 thanks -john - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
