Just wanted to pipe up and say "me too!"
I've been getting this error as well. I unfortunately don't have more
info than that.

Are you using devfs? If so, please try the below patch (I don't see why,
but..)
Can a sysrq-T or sysrq-P trace be generated when it has died? You may need
to alter your initscripts so they do not stick a zero in
/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq.

Yes. I use devfs.
Sorry for the delay, I'm back, with a new , more silent, and working
fan, after a brutal powerdown due to fan failure and CPU overheat... As
my PC is thre years old, it takes time to find compatible fans...
The machine that boots again but unfortunately I had to hardwire a BIOS
CMOS reset and therefore BIOS settings have been restored to factory
default values. I hopefully restored back then to what they where but
cannot guaranty it 100%.
I applied the patch and get the deadlock is gone *BUT* due to BIOS
default changed (including one that may impact performance (PIC read
caching, PCU byte grouping, ...), and the fact that it was probably a
deadlock due to a window that may have disappearred if I did not restore
correctly the settings, I cannot gurante that it is the fix that fixed
the problem.
I hope that Joseph Pingenot that had the same problem can confirm it.
I erased the mail were he was confirming the symptom and I have its
address no more. Could you double check with him that the patch indeed
fix the problem?
Thanks for chasing the bug anyway,

I have these hangs as well, just tried 2.6.5-rc2-mm3 and they are still
there.
However setting video=radeonfb:off as boot parameter solves the problem,
if this can be of any help.
More info on request.

I was having a similar problem, and with nothing else on the system
changed, applying the patch fixed it. Was freezing at "freeing unused
kernel memory" without the patch.
Thanks,

Yes because the console-screen.sh shell script checks for /dev/fb. Could
you try the patceh suggested by Andrew in this thread (I'm not sure it
is in mm3). I attached it for your convenience.

I must have missed it, an yes it fixes the problem.
(I tried it on top of -mm3)
