In the second link, someone told that the problem may solved in the
kernel 2.6.30.
I tried to upgrade to the latest kernel via:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ lenny main deb-src
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-archive/debian/ lenny main
and
aptitude update
aptitude safe-upgrade
but I had no luck, nothing to upgrade.
No, of couse, because as it happens with any "stable" release, Lenny
did not provide a kernel upgrade (other than patches) from their usual
repo.
I don't recall what was the last backported kernel available for Lenny
but this would be the easier solution.
Probably doesn't help that Lenny's out of the support cycle. According
to Wikipedia anyway. I believe that means there hasn't been a single
update since this February and there will never be any further updates
for Lenny beyond "upgrade to Squeeze/Wheezy.
It does not matter that Lenny is out of support (formerly codenamed
"oldstable") because even the current stable release (Squeeze) neither
get kernel upgrades (for kernel upgrades I mean going from 2.6.26 to
2.6.32 or 3.x branch, for instance). Kernel upgrades in Debian only
happen in testing (until becomes frozen) and sid.
Stable (and olstable) releases have to use the backports or manual
compilation.
