haha, sorry I forgot the most important part. dont forget to apply the patch!!! otherwise you'll just build the same buggy version as ubuntu ships.

to apply the patch do these extra steps between 3) and 4) above:

step 3.1) download the .patch file I've attached to this bug and save it inside the "linux-2.6.27" directory which is a subfolder inside the directory you created for you kernel source code
step 3.2) then cd into the directory linux-2.6.27
step 3.4) run "patch -p1 < downloaded_filename.patch"

PS. I wrote these steps without testing them so maybe I forgot something. Let me know if you try it and run into problems.
