So it seems to be installed OK, and as you've seen the same problem on
multiple machines it's probably not due to defective hardware.

Are you using any out-of-tree modules?  (I.e. kernel modules that aren't
part of the kernel package.)

Can you check whether this is fixed in the current stable version
(2.6.32-45)?  Then if it isn't, test Linux 3.2 from testing, unstable or
sqeueeze-backports?

Ben.
