That very subject was recently discussed on this list, and I just 
happened to save the message for reference. I'm adding the content of 
the solution to this post as a quote, and hoping that the original 
poster of this information doesn't mind my quoting him, that person 
being "H.S." <hs.samix at gmail.com> who I am hereby crediting with this 
information. Note that it applies to the 2.6.27 kernel not the 2.6.26 
kernel, but I'm sure the same method should work for either.
