Well, if you had to enter a pin code, then it's legacy pairing, which works fine. If you just confirmed a pin code that was given, then it's SSP, which is affected by a known bug in the kernel. You can either (a) patch your kernel, (b) disable SSP, or (c) initiate the connection from the phone. I suggest the last one since it is straightforward. Also note that you need a running BlueZ agent. You can use the test/simple-agent script in BlueZ, which will probably ask for confirmation when the phone tries to initiate the connection.
