Re^3: Problems with FF in Ubuntu 9.10 after a kernel update

I have the same kind of problem after a kernel update of ubuntu 10.04 64 bit. Under the last kernel (2.6.32-24 #42) installed from the official repository FireFly does not work. The error is of the same kind of the one reported by Reinaldo and it affects both serial and parallel runs (under different version of MPI; I currently use the FireFly version 7.1.G with MPICH, MPICH2 and openMPI).
Using the kernel 2.6.32-21 (#31) FF works without any problem.
Regards,
