Hi Ingo,
Starting X (autostarted with GDM) manages to lock up my system (requiring a hard reset) after the first few tree merges of the window, and bisection shows:
-----------------
19ef9309273d26cb005cb23e6a370353dca91099 is first bad commit commit 19ef9309273d26cb005cb23e6a370353dca91099 Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Date: Fri Jan 25 21:08:34 2008 +0100
printk: use ktime_get()
printk timestamps: use ktime_get().
Some platforms have a functioning clocksource function only after they are done with early bootup, so delay this until out of SYSTEM_BOOTING state.
it's also inherently safe now, as any bugs in this area will be caught by the printk recursion checks.

-----------------
as the first bad commit. I have no idea why that would cause problems, so it could also be some timing-related problem that just happened to bisect to this patch.
I will try advancing to the head of Linus' tree and then reverting this patch to make sure it fixes the problem, but I figured I'd send this first to see if it is obvious to anyone.
