Kernel panic on HT machine - full logs with debug from a few boots(some successful)

Hi,
I tried to find the source of the problem I experience, supposing, that it may affect also other users of machine with Hyper-Threaded CPU.

I've recompiled the kernel with debugging support.
If I remember correctly, machine was booted 5 times. Two of restarts
were successful and even GDM started.

Attached (in gzipped form to spare bandwidth) are logs from serial console (with overwritten MAC addresses of NICs), and configuration of the kernel.

Crash seems to happen in random places:
1. [ 9.589453] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at

[ 9.590022] IP: [<c02e3fb2>] acpi_evaluate_object+0xf1/0x1f2

[ 16.133724] last sysfs file: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A03:00/device:12/PNP0303:00/uevent

As crash occurs only with HT on and doesn't happen on another machine with 2 cores, it seems that maybe the problem is associated with incorrect allocation of resources or locking for HT enabled CPU...
