So perhaps your bisect isn't 100% trust worthy? Can you do a manual
-gitX bisect to see which 2.6.17-gitX introduced the problem?

Also please put a serial console or similar on the machine, so you can
log + store the sysrq+t output.

well I didn't say that caa....fd3 is the exact change which broke it,
just that it's related to 1) CFQ changes and 2) CFQ being the default
now.
I have a Remote Serial Console via HP's integrated Lights-Out Java
Applet but am not sure how to enable serial console via kernel boot
params (will try to find out).
I will first try to find the 2.6.17-git* revision working before
bisecting it against -git11 or git12.
