Hi Raimondo,

Thank you for keeping this m/l updated with the results of your
experiments. I would suggest the following steps:

(1) Check the Red Hat bug tracker for any related issues.
(2) Review the need for your current boot parameters.
(3) Build your own testing kernel from the latest stable long-term
support tarball (linux-2.6.35.12.tar.bz2).

Regards,
Alan.
