We have a number of Intel x3550 servers (Intel 5000-series). They've been running 3.7.2 fine.
In the last week I've run 3.8.11, 3.8.12 and 3.9.2 on them. All have long hangs at boot, and later hung tasks in modprobe.
I've only just started doing proper diagnostics on 3.9.2. In the first run the hang was loading the "radeon" and "tpm" modules. I blacklisted these and rebooted. Now its stuck on "i5000_edac" and "i801_smbus". So this is starting to smell like something lower-level, maybe down in the chipset somewhere.
I'm about to try a bisect. First time I've done so on the kernel, so I don't quite know how it will go. I'll report back if I manage to figure out where the problem is coming from. I'd still appreciate any guidance you might have though!
