Yep, I am using ccache, same sources -> same binary.

addr2line -i now says:
/var/local/src/linux-2.6.git/linux-2.6/mm/slub.c:1648
/var/local/src/linux-2.6.git/linux-2.6/mm/slub.c:1662

Strangely the EIP is the same even after rebuilding with debug info.

Since tip/master supports the latency tracing features, I won't dig
further into the linux-next problem now
(we'll know tomorrow if the commits in tip solve the boot problem).

Best regards,
