The weird part is that pre-patch-2.1.122-p3 works perfectly on the same
hardware (Intel DK440LX). I have not had a chance to see what differences
there are between pre122.p3 and released 122. Mingo & Linus - I am
including you on this email in case you have any ideas what changes might
be relevant between pre-patch-2.1.122-3 and patch-2.1.122.
