on 2009-02-05 there was a commit of IMA - see
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3323eec921efd815178a23107ab63588c605c0b2

that seems in your codepath and is also enabled in .config:

CONFIG_IMA=y
CONFIG_IMA_MEASURE_PCR_IDX=10
CONFIG_IMA_AUDIT=y

as it is not in defconfig, it looks a little bit suspicious to me and i`m
wondering why it is active on your system.

i don`t really have a clue if this really is the culprit, but if this but was
on my system, i would give it at try and disable ima to see if it makes a
difference. don`t know how this can be enabled at runtime/boot. if a runtime
switch doesn`t exist, you may bug the developer for providing one.

ah, and there is
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=1a62e958fa4aaeeb752311b4f5e16b2a86737b23
that also looks suspicious
