(has more details)

I did the following to test/patch the problem: (note that the patch
may be included in the 2.6.31 kernel)

followed howto on patching kernel, worked like a charm:

in /home/<somebody>/rpmbuild/SPECS/kernel.spec:

%define buildid .local

rpm -ivh kernel-2*  kernel-firm*


I know this maybe confusing, but thought I should post it.
