Well, since it works on .27, the issue is somewhere in the kernel, and it could be a timing thing. I'm not expert enough to look at a kernel log and be able to find a fix. My first plan of attack would be to download and compile my own vanilla kernel, using the same config from the Jaunty packages, and seeing if a vanilla kernel shows the same results. I'd try the latest vanilla 2.6.28.7. If this doesn't fix it, let me know, because I could easily upgrade to that and potentially reproduce it here. If it is a problem in the vanilla kernel, we should team up and try to reproduce it on my end, and then go straight to the kernel mailing list. If going vanilla does fix it, then the problems are in Ubuntu's patches, and it's just a matter of bisecting through their changes to find the patch that introduces the problem. (I'm using git terminology here... and it looks like Ubuntu uses git for their kernels, so this should be workable.) That's a bit of grunt work, but would guarantee finding the problem eventually. Unless you have a better plan, that's how I'd tackle it. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Barry-devel mailing list Barry-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/barry-devel
