I use debian unstable.
Currently I'm on kernel 2.6.4-1, but I had no problem on older kernels 
either.
You should not need to do anything special ... initialisation should be 
done automatically,
so if you are having this problem, something is very messed up and you 
probably need to
reconfigure/rebuild the base library.

Looking at the core/base/config.log might help figure out what could 
have gone wrong ...
but if not, your only option is to build the library with 'debug=yes' 
and run gdb on your
application to step through the code and see what is happening.
