Hi- Yes, there is apparently a very similar issue in the RT kernels. I even go ahold of the patch and attempted to fix the issue in the latest kernel I compiled, only to find that particular bug did not exist in my version of the source. I contacted the maintainer, and he said the fix was for the RT kernels, since that bug in question only existed there. Anyway, to make a long story short, whatever ails my kernel is a completely different bug with the same symptoms :-( Thanks for the response. I suppose I could try downgrading kernels to see if I can find a fix that way.
