Just for reference: I assume you were on i386, tracking
lenny-backports, and that "the 2.6.32-2 kernel" means something like

        linux-image-2.6.32-bpo.2-686-bigmem     2.6.32-8~bpo50

Based on [1] and surrounding pages, I think the kernel before that in
lenny-backports was

        linux-image-2.6.30-bpo.2-686-bigmem     2.6.30-8~bpo50+2

That reminds me: do you remember what exactly indicated to you that
the problem on your machines was the same as bug#538158?  Was it just
the same message ("soft lockup - CPU#5 stuck") or did your machines
show the same shallow backtrace with only default_idle and cpu_idle in
it?

Thanks for some useful clarifications,
Jonathan
