I am experiencing the same thing, when I use SMP.  I had no problems with
the 2.2 SMP (via patches), so I don't believe I have a hardware problem.
And things run OK with GENERIC.  I think there is a serious problem
which has been introduced recently, and I'd like to isolate it.  Are you
running SMP by any chance?
