 controller

I will try to update kernel on Ubuntu to 2.6.32 and run the test.

I was not able to install 3.16 ubuntu kernel on RrdHat.

Thanks,

But RedHat65 ships a 2.6.32 kernel as you said, and you can test the stable
2.6.32 kernel on one ubuntu release too.

As far as I can tell, the problem is very probably related with kernel, that is why I suggest you to test upstream kernel and run 'git bisect' later to find the commit which caused the regression.

But looks you have simply install problem.

Thanks,
