Subject:  2.6.24-rc1: hangs when logging in to X session

My laptop hangs when I try to log in to X with the current git kernel
(commit 2a397e82c7db18019e408f953dd58dc1963a328c). It runs fine with
2.6.23. At boot time kdm starts normally, but hangs with the caps lock LED
blinking immediately after I press Enter after typing the password.

I can log in with a virtual console but didn't do much testing otherwise.

The system is a Thinkpad R60, Intel Core 2 Duo, x86_64 running Debian.
Kernel config is attached. A notable change in my config is that I enabled
NO_HZ. I will try without it...

Regards,

Marcus
