The patch mentioned above was suspected by me to cause lot of trouble, but it NEEDS to be something related also to HW configuration.

Tried today again with 2.6.28-11 and got EXACTLY same behaviour as god-mok. I was really lucky to recover filesystem and get back here. AGAIN: No Problem with 2.6.28-9. System gets unusable (actually all filesystem can be lost, and if You call it unusable, I do prefer destroyed, as I had multiple times to recover from backups) using 2.6.28-11 for more than some minutes.

I repeat: Seems something related ALSO to hardware, as I have tried the same schema on multiple hardware (fresh install with 2.6.28-9, then update to 2.6.28-11) and I had problems ONLY on my notebook.

Please god-mok, would You please post the output of lshw, as I have not find complete specs of Your Clevio?
Looking at a summary hardware, it seems really similar to the COMPAL setup:

• 17" WSXGA Aktiv Matrix Glare TFT (1680*1050)
• inkl. 1.3 MPix Webcam
• nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX 512MB
• Core2Duo T9300 / 2,5GHz 6MB/800 MHz
• 4096 MB (2x2048) SO-DIMM DDR2 800MHz
• 200 GB / 7200 U/min S-ATA
• DVD±R/±RW DL (Dual Layer) 8x/8x Multinorm-Brenner
• Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
• int. Bluetooth-Module

But I am really curious about chipset used. Let us sort this trouble out!
