If you look at my reports you will see that I'm not on a Dell either.

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.
:-)
This is the first time I've seen this issue and I have two dual CPU machines and two dual core machines, all running Fedora, two since FC2.
I've been running Amarok with the xen kernel all day. No problems yet. I'll try the base kernel again tomorrow. Not big file moves across the LAN, just Amarok.
BTW, this is the first fresh install that xen worked "out-of-the-box". I always had to fiddle with the network devices before I could function under xen, if at all. So far, I cannot tell the difference between running xen or not...
