I was almost about to say the version as 2007-10-22 resolved the
issues that I have been seeing with 2.6.23.  This build booted ok
but died after three days with a soft lockup:

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 11s! [udevd:382]

The above message repeated every 11 seconds or so on the console.  Nothing
in any other logs.

The system did get through two gcc builds before crashing.

Another minor problem that I see is testsuite timeouts for tests that
don't normally timeout.  This seems almost random and I have no idea how
to reproduce it.
