Having read the whole thread, I came up with a few ideas.
The following patches in -pre3 could perhaps have to do something with your problems: o (resend) collected semaphore fixes and semtimedop o Fix potential IO hangs and increase interactiveness during heavy IO o fix false sharing of mm info o fix up semops and return, allow timedop o mremap VM_LOCKED move_vma o remove io_apic_modify - this doesnt work on some APICs o small setup-pci cleanups
Since your hangs are not even traceable with SysRq, please try to boot with nmi_watchdog=1 and if that doesn't work (dmesg will complain) nmi_watchdog=2. About 15 seconds after the hang your box should print a backtrace.
As a last resort you could mount the fs from UML.
I suggest you try the nmi_watchdog thing first.
