    We have now tested 2.4.2 and 2.2.19.

    2.2.19 has the same problem.

    2.4.3 does not seem to be affected. Unfortunately, we really need a
    working 2.2 kernel at this time.

    We also patched the 2.2.19 kernel with the PIII patch found in
    /pub/linux/kernel/people/andrea/patches/v2.2/2.2.19pre13/PIII-10.bz2
    on ftp.kernel.org. Same problem.

    Does anyone have any ideas for us?

    Thanks.

    Vic
