There are various debug config options which allow to narrow such problems
down. CONFIG_LOCKDEP seems to be most useful, but there are other quite
helpful too. Try to add options from attached file to your .config (do not
forgot to "make oldconfig" and check if these options ware not wiped out),
and after recompile see if kernel will print some more valuable messages.
