I just found this thread, which may or may not be related:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/10/msg01532.html
I'm running Lenny with the 2.6.26-1-686 kernel, and the thread above
suggests these problems might be solved in 2.6.27. Corrections, or
suggestions for fixes until 2.6.27 makes it's way into testing, welcome!
