I have just upgraded to kernel 2200 and have encountered what I believe 
is the same issue.   Quick google search only seemed to turn up this 
thread, which surprised me a bit since my machine seemed to be pretty

Haven't had time to investigate further but I will.

I just wanted to let you know, Mel, that you are not the only person 
seeing this.
