I had the same problem. I would second Gav's suggestion below, although
I did it slightly differently, I did have to recompile the kernel. It is
worth the extra effort, the performance gains are huge. Also get that
nice cosy feeling inside from knowing that you have compiled your own
customised kernel (is that just me?).
