HI everybody,

Perhaps I have found some light in this tunnel.

I upgraded to the 2.6.12 kernel (yeah, I know, that just changed the
entire experiment) and turned off "CPU freq scaling" and "PCI hotplug
support" since I didn't think I needed either of those.  I built the
2.6.12 kernel and played beer_golf 5 times in a row and the system DID
NOT lockup.  I'm not sure why those features were enabled in the first
place.  (I should probably go back to 2.6.11.11 and disable these two
features and see if that has any positive effect.)

I'm far too much of a pessimist to claim victory, but perhaps my luck is
turning for the better.  My fingers are still crossed.  I am (extremely)
cautiously optimistic.

I thought I'd mention this in case somebody reads this thread in the
future and maybe, just maybe, this tidbit helps.  Besides, I've read a
lot of threads where the problem is described in detail, but the answer
is never forthcoming(!).

Later,

Andy
