Somethings broken in there, but I don't know what.
Or how to make it happen on demand.. it's fine after rebooting again.

2.6.23 did not have this problem.
actually we have reports of 2.6.23 having the exact same problem.
The thing is, "something" is causing the system to go into a state

No yenta/cardbus here -- it's all PCIe.
If you have any debug patches that could detect or help next time I see it,

Cheers!
