Send a bug report to the debian kernel package i meant, not upstream, altough ther policy is to follow upstream on this, there may be exceptions. The debian kernel maintainer is a team, not just me, and sending personal mail and nort an archived bug report, is bound to get lost in my (huge) inbox, especially now that i am mostly offline 2 weeks. > that page nobody seemed to be interested in the problem.

Well, just provide a debian bug report so we can continue having this conversation the right way. TW, is this a different patch than the one Jens had applied back them in the 2.6.4 debian powerpc kenrel days ? And which was removed for bugginess or something ?
