Subject: Recurring Kernel panic, 2.6.38 and above

Upon upgrading my desktop to Mageia one, I began to have a constantly
reoccurring kernel panic. It only happens in newer kernel versions
however. The default kernel in Mageia is 2.6.38 which is where the
problem first manifested itself. I tested it in Mint 11, which also
uses 2.6.38 to see if the problem was caused by the Mageia team
modifying the kernel, yet the same panic occurred. To be thorough and
make sure it wasn't a bug that was already fixed I also tested the
system on kernel 3.0.4  and the panic still occurred. In all cases, I
tested the x86 and x86-64 kernel and the problem manifested itself in
both. Currently, I'm running kernel 2.6.35 stably without any panics.

Hardware:
MB: Asus z7s
CPU: Xeon E5410x2
Graphics:Radeon 3870x2

I also found what looks to be an identical bug report from another
user with very similar hardware on the OpenSUSE bugs mailing list.
It appears to be happening to him using kernel 2.6.36 so this may be
where the problem started. I would test it myself, but kernel.org is
still down.

I'll provide as much information as I can. Please CC me in responses,
as I am not a member of the mailing list.
