Hi John,

just an suggestion:
If trying vanilla sources it would be an idea, to download both:
The vanilla version of the kernel you have encountered problems with 
and the newest shiny one: The kernel of all kernels - the king of the
road of all versions: linux-2.6.39.1
;)

...just for the case, the kernel hackers -- Linus and crew -- have
fixed the bug already.

Fingers crossed!
Best regards,
mcc
