AKAIK no patch fix the pb yet. Best test-bed i know is to build DrakX. You can't
do it more than twice or 3 without Ooopsing, going to D state or ... :-(
I'm building DrakX on 2.2 for the moment. Waiting for kernel people to fix this.
There's also a /nice/ bug which makes the ramdisk take twice the needed memory.
That's why DrakX is still using 2.2
Hail 2.4 :-/
