OK so we have one solid regression there. Are the other problems also new since 2.6.11? Could you please retest 2.6.13-rc6 when it's out and if problems remain, raise a bugzilla.kernel.org entry so we can keep track of the problem? Thanks. (I'm trying to get all unattended and older-than-a-few-days bug reports pushed over to bugzilla so they don't get lost). > BTW: > Did I read this right?

Three months does sound optimistic.
