Can you please just do what I asked to, namely do the minimal config.

That will also make it _much_ faster for you to compile the kernel
(you can probably do it in 10 minutes or less if you just get a really
nice config that only has the stuff you actually require - on my
machine I compile my kernel in about 3 minutes from scratch).

And not only would it tell us something (namely whether the problem
persists or not), but if it _does_ persist even with a minimal kernel
that only has the drivers you need, it would make it much more
feasible to do a bisect because now the compile/test cycle would be
much shorter.

So please, just do it. Because quite frankly, by now you're mainly
just wasting everybody's time.

The kernel version shows up in dmesg as the very first thing. Something like

[ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.39-rc5-00127-g1be6a1f89f13
(torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.5.1 20100924 (Red
Hat 4.5.1-4) (GCC) ) #9 SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 29 16:28:05 PDT 2011

You've just lost it, possibly because your dmesg file ended up growing
too large, or possibly because some tool just didn't bother to save
it.
