It would be nice to get this fixed in the 2.6.32.y series, too. Would you be able to test the patch from <http://bugs.debian.org/655353#10>? It works like this: 0. Prerequisites: apt-get install git build-essential 1. Grab a copy of the stable kernel series: git clone -o stable \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git \ linux cd linux Or, if you already have a clone of the kernel repository: cd linux git remote add -f stable \ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git 2. Check out the 2.6.32.y series: git checkout stable/linux-2.6.32.y cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config; # use current configuration make localmodconfig; # optional: minimize configuration make; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build fakeroot -u make deb-pkg dpkg -i ../<name of package> reboot Hopefully it reproduces the problem. 3. Apply and test patch: git apply --index thepatch make; # maybe with -j4 fakeroot -u make deb-pkg dpkg -i ../<name of package> reboot If it works, we can apply the patch in squeeze and send the patch to Greg for application to upstream 2.6.32.y kernels, so everyone benefits.
