A trick is to enable alt-sysrq and press alt-sysrq-t (I think) which spams
your syslog with backtraces of all processes currently running, including
the ones stuck in 'D' state (ps aux | grep " D ").

If you isolate these backtraces and send them to this list, they will enable
developers to help you. Make sure you add 'includes backtrace' in your
Subject.

For maximum usefulness, make your setup as simple as possible and reproduce.

Good luck - I personally can't help you in any real way, except to help you
get the debugging information that is needed.
