Hmm... 

damned stats # gzip -dc /proc/config.gz |grep -i preempt
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE is not set
# CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY is not set
CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
damned stats # 

I also tried 2.6.17-mm but that dies in reiserfs claiming a bug in bitmap.c

I'll try a re-compile of 2.7.17.1 vanilla with no pre-empt & see how it goes.
