CPU0 appears to be idle:
[ 118.510000] Call Trace:
[ 118.510000] [<7900844b>] cpu_idle+0x86/0xb4
[ 118.510000] [<792a91df>] rest_init+0x103/0x108
[ 118.510000] [<794558cc>] start_kernel+0x2c7/0x2cc
[ 118.510000] [<7945528e>] i386_start_kernel+0x44/0x46
which suggests memory corruption - but, if then it's a special
type of memory corruption because AFAIR I always saw similar
patterns to the lockup, never other signs of memory corruption.
Thanks,
Ingo
