Comment 5 for bug 158775

Hi, I've managed to compile for myself a custom kernel (2.6.23.1, from source) which worked where the stock kernel 2.6.22-14 would not. How did I do it? I copied the latest stock kernel's config file (/boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic), and used it as I configured my custom kernel (/usr/local/src/linux-2.6.23.1/.config). The only options I changed were these (in the "Processor Type and Features" section):
-set the processor type to nicely match what I actually have in my box: a Pentium-4 Celeron. (which to me is not suspicious as actually solving this problem)
-turned off Symmetric Multiprocessing, as I have a single CPU. (which to me is not suspicious as actually solving this problem)
-Disabled the experimental support for "Paravirtualization support" (which to me is highly suspicious as actually solving this problem)

Then I did all the normal steps to compile, install and use my new kernel.
