I did, it didn't help.
Maybe i can run some debugging options in kernel?
Also i can add debug(printk) lines in kernel if you want, to see where is bug

Note, i told to Michal, so will tell here, this pc is hyperthreading P4, as i 
know it is very good to trigger various SMP race conditions.
I can try also it with nosmp if u want.
