Problem still occurs with clocksource boot options, it just doesn't seem to get triggered by my testcase.

With clocksource option it takes about 5-6 hours before it first occurs with testcase running, however after the first occurence my testcase seem to trigger it very fast again (under 5 minutes).

Well anyway since my testcase is a real world case for me it, it's some progress. But i guess it's not really useful for anyone else.

The problem also doesn't exist in newer kernel's btw. But my system has problems with several crashes with 2.6.36 mainline, 2.6.36 natty sauce, 2.6.37-rc1 natty sauce. (Witch i tried to get stable for weeks before returning to .35).
