This with several 2.4.x kernels (2.4.4, 2.4.10, 2.4.16, 2.4.17 and 2.4.18). I think this has been discussed here, but I am too stupid to understand it and/or find the solution. I browsed the archives of the last year, and I think it was suggested to use 2.4.17rc2aa1 or aa2. Is this correct and will it solve the problem (IIRC there was no success message)? Will the later 2.2 kernels show this behavior too (like 2.2.20)?
