I have also tried a number of other kernels and the problem exists all

case someone has an inkling of what the problem is.

Saying that the problem is between 2.6.15.6 and 2.6.16 is rather
meaningless because you're effectively omitting _all_ the development
work between 2.6.15 to 2.6.16, and that's likely where the problem
lies. Hence, you're omitting all the 2.6.16-rc kernels from your
testing.

But won't a git bisect cover all the bases even so? Aren't rc versions just selected git pulls?
