I switched from 2.5.73 to 2.5.75 yesterday, and I've encountered three hard
lockups in the 24 hours I've been running the new kernel. When I reset the
machine, I don't see anything unusual in the logs.
The machine is a dual PIII with aic7899 SCSI and 3c905c network on the
motherboard. In all three cases where I locked up, there was network and
disk IO going on. I don't really have any more info.
If anyone would like to give me a list of things to try, I'd be happy to do
some testing.

Do you already have all the kernel hacking options turned on?
Particularly the CONFIG_DEBUG_* options? If not, rebuilding and getting
the same lockup may provide some additional info. You may also want to
try with the PREEMPT option turned on (if not aleady).
