Any of you have "Magic SysRq key" enabled ? This could be used to figure
out what the kernel is doing.
I've seen one of these lockups - one of the pre-2.1.127, but also with
some additional patches, and yes: SMP is commented out - and from the
sysrq output I got, it does seem as if the kernel is looping in schedule(),
or something is calling schedule() constantly.
