you should have used some serial console ...
(or at least disabled the console blanking)

hmm, guess not, we had moderate good reports some with
ksymoops and some without, everything points to some
scheduling from/within a softirq (preferable ethernet)

without a kernel debugger attached ...

(please correct me if I'm wrong)
