The problem for me happened with both the -generic and -rt kernels, on
several different versions of Ubuntu, so I think it must have been
related to Ubuntu's kernel patches... beyond that I can't really
comment (especially since this could be a totally unrelated issue).

I know you can use the 64 Studio kernel on Ubuntu Hardy (8.10), but I
have not tried any other combinations (I've only tried the Arch kernel
under Arch itself).  Maybe someone with a bit more kernel tinkering
background has some ideas?  Might be a good chance to try rolling your
own kernel... I've been meaning to try it sometime too.  From what
I've read it's not too tough... (famous last words)
