Please, oh please, file a bug report about this issue, writing it to me personally and/or the mailing list, will make it lost in the noise rather quickly. For instructions on how to file a bug report, please : apt-get reportbug reportbug linux-2.6 (or mail the report directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and use Package: linux-2.6 as the first line of the body).
