Unfortunately none of the patches between 2.6.26 and 2.6.32 jumps out at me as likely to have fixed this. So I would like more help, if you are still interested (and please let me know if you are not). Quick questions: - Arcady, are you still experiencing the soft lockups in default_idle? If so, can you confirm Juan's finding that 2.6.32 from lenny-backports avoids trouble? - Juan, do you still have machines that can be convinced to produce the soft lockups again? Could you send a log snippet (starting at BUG and ending at =======================) for such a soft lockup, either by reproducing it again or by extracting it from 2010's kernel logs if you still have them? - Assuming the lenny kernel is still broken and the lenny-backports kernel fixed, a useful next step would be to try a kernel from between (2.6.30 or so) from snapshot.debian.org to help narrow down the search for the fix.
