No problems with -rc3 on a x86 box. Could be something change in sysfs. Please double-check the config options, make sure that something important didn't get disabled. Failing that, it would be great if you could bisect this down to the offending commit. http://www.kernel.org/doc/local/git-quick.html has help. Richard, Ivan: have you seen anything like this? Meanwhile, I guess we should track this as another post-2.6.23 regression please.
