The first step is to figure out as exactly as possible _when_ it started
happening.

So is 2.6.19 good? 2.6.20-rc1? -rc2?
If you're a git user (or even just marginally interested in learning), the
best thing to do is to find some good kernel (the more recent, the better,
but the keyword is *some* kernel that works well), and a bad kernel (the
older the better, just to avoid unnecessary work, but again, you can just
take the most recent too), and then just use "git bisect".
If you bisect it down to one particular commit, that will help us a lot,
but even if you only bisect it down by booting a handful of kernels (say,
5-6), it will already have cut things down a lot, and probably more easily
and efficiently than if you just downloaded daily snapshots and tried to
narrow it down that way.
