    The problem seems to be surprisingly old.

    In -mm, I was able to reproduce it in 2.6.8.1-mm1 (several older -mm
    kernels don't boot on my machine due to the floppy issues already
    discussed).

    In Linus' tree, 2.6.9-rc1 is OK, but both 2.6.9-rc2 and 2.6.9-rc4 show
    this problem.

    What else might matter? Userspace? I'm using a Debian unstable.
