I finally tracked it down. There were several ways to turn the box into
a brick. Sigh !

Can you please test the combo patch below ?

The details are available from the for-2.6.23 branch of my hrt git repo:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/linux-2.6-hrt.git;a=shortlog;h=for-2.6.23

Thanks,
