That's odd...  Is this after lowering AAC_NUM_IO_FIB to 64?  Also, with or
without SMP and Hyper Threading?.

What version of GCC is this as well?

I've placed a copy of the kernel I'm using
at http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/Dell/

There is both RPM binary and SRPMS there.

If you have the time, please test the binary, there is a change log
included with it.

Thanks
James
