Alexander, can you please attach full boot log and the output of
"lspci -nn"? Also, how reproducible is the problem? You already
answered to Frans' question but can you be more specific?
Full dmesg was made available earlier at:
http://xx.vu/~ahuemer/dmesg_ahuemer_20090923
Does blacklisting i801_smbus make any difference?

lspci -nn:
http://xx.vu/~ahuemer/lspci_nn_ahuemer_20091012

what do you mean with "blacklisting i801_smbus" ?

[ 3.872387] i2c /dev entries driver
[ 3.873943] i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: PCI INT B -> GSI 23 (level, low) -> IRQ 23
[ 3.875580] w83627hf: Found W83627HF chip at 0x290

IRQ23 is also used by i801_smbus and it would be nice to confirm
whether the problem can still be triggered with that driver not
loaded. Adding "blacklist i2c_i801" to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
should probabaly do the trick.

Thanks.

okay, i think you assume that i2c_i801 is a module.
it is indeed built into the kernel.
i'll rebuild the kernel without that component and run a test again.

tejun, it seems you hit an interesting point.
i compiled kernel-2.6.31.3 with my ususal config _without_ i2c_i801.
my usual test (compilation of gcc-4.3.2) finished 5 times without the error.
i'll let it run some more times over night.
does anybody have an idea how i can trace what exactly causes the error during the compilation run so that i can create a short test program ?

regards
