Hm, it seems to help the hangs, yes. Applied to today's -git a few hours 
ago, the hangs are gone. However, when doing lots of disk I/O, the machine 
locks up after a few (10-20) minutes. Sadly, netconsole got nothing :(

After the first lockup I tried again and shortly after bootup I got:

The box was running fine then for ~20 minutes, then it locked up again.

Full dmesg and .config: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/2.6.25-rc5/

Right now I'm back to 2.6.24.3...

Thanks,
Christian.
