I have put more detailed information (dmesg, lsmod, config, lspci -v) on http://users.telenet.be/fhimpe/kernelbug/ . Maybe you could also make it available somewhere? Is there a kernel hacker who could give us any clue about what we can do to get more information to find the exact cause and to solve this problem? Frederik
