The problem hit me (in FC6) while playing sound (using mplayer for watching a recorded TV program). The fix I usedwas to turn off irqbalance. The problem went away. I also found that another problems went away when I used a Xen kernel (but my system used more power). On F7, I'm only using one CPU because of still another problem so this particular bug won't hit me. So I'm experiencing three separate kernel bugs. Great. At least one work-around fixes them all: throw away one CPU core.
