guess I should have stated gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7-r6 is need of the fix, according to the LKML the fix is in the bk tree for future kernel releases.

[Comment 2 Matt Taylor 2004-07-31 10:15:15 UTC]

This is still a problem in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r11.

[Comment 3 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2004-08-26 05:02:32 UTC]

This should be fixed in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8; if you still experience this then please reopen this bug. Thanks!
