Hi Carlos, It has been happening to me as far back as 2.6.25 IIRC. It occurs only on SMP kernels and on various models (K410, L2000). I've tried to bissect that as well but kernel before 2.6.25 aren't really useable SMP due to the global irq bug or so. To me that is a bug that as always been there. It is random but some builds almost always fail. Not always at the same place tho.
