Comment 46 for bug 279186

Thanks Yusef!

Not a complete expert on kernel options, but there's one thing in the config file that might have hit the bug:

--- config-2.6.27.4-custom 2008-11-16 21:33:14.000000000 -0600
+++ config-2.6.27-7-generic 2008-11-16 20:14:44.000000000 -0600
(lots of lines)
 CONFIG_TRACING=y
-CONFIG_FTRACE=y <- This could be related?
-# CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER is not set
-# CONFIG_SYSPROF_TRACER is not set
-# CONFIG_SCHED_TRACER is not set
-CONFIG_CONTEXT_SWITCH_TRACER=y
-# CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not set <- this was disabled to begin with, but the git bisect/revert pointed to this as the issue..

Regards,

Robert
