Excellent. Also, i'm starting to worry I misread what you wrote. :)
So here's a summary:
- packaged 2.6.38-4 worked ok
- packaged 2.6.38-5 did not work ok
- gregkh's 2.6.38.6 with .config from 2.6.38-5 did not work ok
- gregkh's 2.6.38.4 with custom .config worked ok
In particular, I had somehow confused myself into thinking that
tested 2.6.38.4 with the Debian configuration failed or 2.6.38.6 with
the custom .config worked ok, but rereading the bug log, I don't see
that. Am I understanding correctly?
If I am and the .config indeed seems to be a red herring, would you be
willing to bisect between 2.6.38.4 and 2.6.38.5? I can guide you
through the process if you'd like (and it probably would have been
worth writing a patch for the kernel guide for that by now; sorry).
