Hi Jonathan, Thanks for your instructions. I tried them, because I have never successfully got and compiled the kernel via GIT before. Your instructions worked fine. With only a superficial few hours on each kernel, I verified The problem with kernel 3.2.23 and no problem with kernel 3.2.23 + patch. Note: the majority of my testing (one or two hundred hours) were Done with Ubuntu server edition 12.04, Kernel 3.2.0-24-generic #39, and all three of: 556061b00c9f2fd6a5524b6bde823ef12f299ecf 5aaa0b7a2ed5b12692c9ffb5222182bd558d3146 5167e8d5417bf5c322a703d2927daec727ea40dd manually backedited. By the way this non-distro 3.2.23 kernel seems to run a lot faster than the Ubuntu distro 3.2.0-24 kernel. ...
