I've installed "linux-source-2.6.19 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.19 with Ubuntu patches" and compiled it with the config file of my working 2.6.17-10... but no luck it hang with the same message at the same place. I've noticed that the ubuntu package is based on the 2.6.19-rc6 kernel. So I've downloaded the vanilla 2.6.18 kernel, applied the 2.6.19-rc6 kernel patch and compiled it with the same config file as above... and it worked, it boot the system no more "soft lockup". So it seems the problem lies in one of the ubuntu patch to the kernel. While I don't know what I can do to help to pinpoint what change between the vanilla 2.6.19-rc6 and the ubuntu 2.6.19-rc6, I can give more details as needed.
