[ 873.350039] Kernel panic - not syncing: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!
I've had lockups with self-compiled 2.6.25 kernels on other hardware as
well, all related to hpet_rtc_interrupt; see the LKML archive for the
details. This is the first time I've tried a Debian-packaged 2.6.25, and
it also hangs. The workaround recommended on LKML was to disable
CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC (it cannot be disabled in the menu, you have to
edit the configuration by hand). This workaround seems to work for me:
$ uname -a
Linux boogie 2.6.25 #3 SMP Thu Jun 12 13:32:35 CEST 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ uptime
15:57:16 up 15 days, 1:43, 13 users, load average: 0.24, 0.57, 0.65
Without the workaround, I never got an uptime more than a couple of
hours. So I suggest applying the workaround to the Debian package as
well.
