Please try 2.6.22 or newer. If 2.6.22 fails I'll ask you to test 2.6.23-rc1, so it would probably be a good idea to try 2.6.23-rc1 right off the bat.

I'm not asking you to switch to a -rc kernel. I'm asking you to compile it, boot into it, see if this bug exists, and then reboot into a kernel of your choice.

I tried to upgrade but emerge says I already have the latest sources (2.6.21). How can I update to the newest kernel? (Oh, forget it, let me google about it).
In case google wasn't of assistance, I suggest emerging the sys-kernel/vanilla-sources package. You'll need to keyword it as 2.6.23-rc1 is unstable.

Sorry but my system got kind of unusable for me right now so I wont be able to provide more info for a while, but i will when I fix that issue.
I'm going to resolve this bug as need info. If you retest as requested at a later date and the issue reoccurs, please feel free to reopen this bug.
