Fixed in SVN for the next Lenny point update. Please test a build, since I
don't own the hardware:
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html#s-common-official-vcs

(dists/lenny/linux-2.6, commit r15279 and higher)

I'm also marking this as fixed in 2.6.28 for unstable, since we have uploaded
2.6.27.

Cheers,
