[flame here - flamer need to be flamed :{)]
This is normal egoistic aproach : 2.0.29 works for me - it should work
also for you. And I run 2.0.30 maybe he needs to upgrade to mine kernel
and yours :{)? And other guy runs kernel from 2.1.X branch - intersting
what he thinks about it.

I agree that using that using not latest stable kernel is unwise and it's
better be upgraded - but IMHO version of kernel is not a problem here.
Probably the problem is wrong configuration during kernel compilation.
But maybe something else get screwed during upgrade :{)
My advise would be to recompile kernel more carefully :{)
And of cause to upgrade it to current latest stable.

( I hope I will not be flamed to much by you Oh Great Marc )
