There are three pnpbios patches in -mm:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm4/broken-out/pnp-fix-1.patch
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm4/broken-out/pnp-fix-2.patch
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.0-test9/2.6.0-test9-mm4/broken-out/pnp-fix-3.patch

It would help if you could determine which (if any) of these are causing
the problem. You can remove the patches with

cd /usr/src/linux
patch -p1 -R < ~/pnp-fix-3.patch

etcetera.


Thanks.
