And no hangs since.
For completeness, I must say that I also disabled CONFIG_IRQBALANCE.
Also; these hangs have not occurred at work where I mostly use Ethernet;
only at home where I only use wireless.
I've googled the caps lock led blinking hang symptom a bit, and I found
that
- the system isn't necessarily completely hung; it may be possible to
login remotely,
- it may be possible to capture the oops with netconsole,
- simply running in text mode when the problem is triggered may make it
possible to see the oops logged to the console.
When I get some time, I'll try to trigger it in text mode. Should be
easy as it hangs in no time with linux-image-2.6.25-2-686 2.6.25-6.
