Hmmm, kernel bugs should be posted to the lkml (Linux Kernel Mailing
List), the address is: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org

One more test you could do is, do you see the same problem when booting
into the latest Fedora kernel?

If you submit a bug report, the latest Planet CCRMA kernel is based on
2.6.21.1 plus Ingo's 2.6.21-rt1 patch ("uname -r" should be
2.6.21-0143.rt1.2.fc6.ccrmart).
