Take care, /Johan Ekenberg I can have a look at this. For debugging this, I'd need you to boot some recent kernel (like 3.6), trigger the lockup on a partition different from / (so that the whole machine doesn't die) and then run: echo w >/proc/sysrq-trigger Finally get output of dmesg (kernel message log) and send it to me.
