Re: 2.6.18.3 soft lockups and 2.6.19-rc6 rwlock OOPs on SMP x86-64

[Bart Trojanowski]

One more update.  I rebuilt 2.6.19-rc6 and turned off CONFIG_PREEMPT_BKL.
It didn't help much.

I am still getting BUG dumps from the kernel, however they don't cause
freezes immediately.  It takes a few minutes of console output before
the computer stops responding to my input.

As I was writing the above I tried building again under 2.6.19-rc6.  The
kernel OOPSed with a NULL pointer dereference.
