What's the difference between -2 and -3?
The biggest difference between the 2.6.31-2 and 2.6.31-3 Ubuntu kernels is 2.6.31-3 rebased with mainline 2.6.31-rc3 from 2.6.31-rc2. I've pasted the short changelog below but it can also be seen at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux . @Twig, I can work with you in the Launchpad bug report to help narrow this down to an Ubuntu specific introduced regression of a regression between the vanilla mainline 2.6.31-rc2 and 2.6.31-rc3 kernels. We'll post our results back here. Thanks.

Could you test my patches on bug #23082?
(In reply to comment #7) > Could you test my patches on bug #23082? > Hi, I applied the two kernel patches with no result. I'm afraid I'm not sure how to apply the third patch. Twig.
Based on information from Twig in the Ubuntu bug report, I'm inclined to believe this is not an issue with the mainline kernel and is an Ubuntu specific issue: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/399821/comments/19 "Just to clarify: The mainline kernel works fine. I can test the latest mainline but it won't be for a day or so. None of the Ubuntu kernels work since rc2. . ."
