Ok, will try the latest kernel to see if that fixes it. 2.6.20.1 was
actually the latest kernel when I rolled it out to these machines. The
IRQ Lockup messages have never caused any problems to the the

may have missed catching these stack traces in the past, but they are
rare.

Thanks again for your input.
