I am replying to the list, since we had some personal conversation with klaatu recently and the problem seems solved (well, probably not solved yet, but we discovered what is the reason for it).
So the list should know about it, in order to let other people know that an answer is probably no longer needed. The answer to klaatu's question is: make sure the newly compiled (and patched) kernel is actually the one which you're booting: uname -a or cat /proc/version if you prefer Also, if you are using LILO, rerun it to make sure it picks the new kernel.
