Problem is still not really solved, however, there is quite big

It takes too long, too wait for hang, so it is not easy to determine
what causes it by experimenting with excluding something.
I compiled new kernel as Jari wrote (kernel image is called "jari"
now!), but that was not a problem (or not the only problem).
My question is: how to locate a problem, if it is in kernel or module?
If you have some useful link, please post it here!
I have only debugged the kernel in the old fashioned way myself, but gdb
is able to attach itself to a running kernel. You can also patch the
kernel with kdb (kernel debugger), that will help gdb to get out more
useful info (and some serial console stuff it seems).
To debug after the crash is called "post mortem debugging", and a google
search together with 'linux kernel' give some pointers to tools for
doing that.
