Enclosed is still the /var/log/debug file. UNFORTUNATELY, IT DONT SHOWS THE KERNEL VERSION (THIS IS SOMETHING WHAT YOU COULD CORRECT !!!) The boots of today 14:17:43 and 21:00:01 are using 2.6.38.4 (during the 1st run, I compiled/packaged 2.6.39-rc5-git4 without problems, the 2nd is running actually), between them were runs with 2.6.39-rc5-git4 ON WHICH IS DEBUG (in the kernel hacker config) SWITCHED ON (on 2.6.38.4 it's NOT switched on).
Perhaps thats helpful anyhow.

Enclosed is still the /var/log/debug file.

Can you please just do what I asked to, namely do the minimal config.

That will also make it _much_ faster for you to compile the kernel (you can probably do it in 10 minutes or less if you just get a really nice config that only has the stuff you actually require - on my machine I compile my kernel in about 3 minutes from scratch).

And not only would it tell us something (namely whether the problem persists or not), but if it _does_ persist even with a minimal kernel that only has the drivers you need, it would make it much more feasible to do a bisect because now the compile/test cycle would be much shorter.

So please, just do it. Because quite frankly, by now you're mainly just wasting everybody's time.

The kernel version shows up in dmesg as the very first thing. Something like

[    0.000000] Linux version 2.6.39-rc5-00127-g1be6a1f89f13

([email protected]) (gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC) ) #9 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 29 16:28:05 PDT 2011

You've just lost it, possibly because your dmesg file ended up growing too large, or possibly because some tool just didn't bother to save it.
