2.2.16 deadlocking in schedule()

I am running 2.2.16 unpatched on a PII-450 with 512 megs of memory. The
disk controller is a Mylex DAC960. Recently the machine seems to be
locking up under moderate load. I wanted to see what was causing it, and
running setiathome seems to be a pretty good trigger for it. Using
control-scroll lock showed that the seti process, along with any new
processes I tried to start ended up as deadlocked.

Running the default RedHat 6.2 kernel would deadlock in the functions
hard_idle() and cpu_idle(). This was under the same load.

Below is my config
