2.6.30 kernel panic when closing lid

[Andreas Sundstrom <sunkan@zappa.cx>]

Hi..

My laptop has started crashing when I close the lid. This does not
happen with 2.6.29.4 which I was using before 2.6.30, I configured my
2.6.30 kernel with the 2.6.29.4 as the base and then did "make
oldconfig" and then most of the questions I got I used the default setting.

I have tried to catch the full output with a USB serial console, but
it's not able to send the full output before it dies it seems. Sometimes
it gets further than other times.

Here is one oops/panic:

I did a few runs and the full output from that is here:
http://pastebin.com/fe18c31c

fair_sched_class seems to be mentioned every time from what I've seen.

I also tried removing "button" support from ACPI and that seems to
eliminate the problem, so I have a workaround.
Compiling "button" as a module does not seem to eliminate the problem
though even with the module blacklisted (and not loaded then of course).

This is on a HP Compaq 6910p as you might have seen in the oops/panic
output.
I don't know how to proceed on troubleshooting/debugging this.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help find the issue.
