Comment 3 for bug 586070

we did as instructed in the LKML post:

build the kernel as instructed in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
where we chose to build the flavor "server"

The result:

We are going to upgrade the machine to lucid in order to try to overcome this bug, so we will not be able to do any further testing for this from here on.
