This entry is being used for tracking a regression from 3.1. Please don't
close it until the problem is fixed in the mainline.

This is to confirm that 3.1.8 worked fine on the mentioned systems (now, I'm going to build 3.1.10 and check it).
Comment 2 gm.outside+kernel 2012-01-24 15:43:36 UTC 
I found that kernel 3.2.1 from the ALT Linux distribution work OK on the mentioned hardware.  I'll try to find some time to try to build vanila kernel 3.2.1 with 'make allnoconfig', then ALT's patched version -- and if the former crashes and the latter doesn't I'll compare patches.
Comment 3 Florian Mickler 2012-02-23 22:23:55 UTC 
Can you bisect the failure using git-bisect? 
That will be faster than manually picking testing points.
