Any additional info could be helpful. I'm not sure if all these
computers do similar htb processing, or it's another problem?
As I've written before htb before 2.6.23-rc1 has a problem with
timer lockup during qdisc_destroy, so softirqs would be hit.
If it's htb's fault 2.6.23-rc4 or my testing patch should help.

I try to find in htb code another weak points. BTW, if during
such lockups any processes are killed 'by hand' etc., without
restarting the whole system, please let us know.

lspci -v (or -vv should be more usable - but with dmesg at least)
