The issue is still happening with a mainline 3.1 kernel (same dump as
above). Is there anyting I can do to capture more details? The machine
locks up completely, so MagicSysRq does not help when trying to
preserve the error log. Are there any mechanisms to persist some error
information when regular file systems are not available (RTC will
probably not suffice). Netconsole will be tricky to use as I am
typically on the road when using my laptop with no additional log sink
available.

Thanks,
Thilo
