In desperation, I started trimming down my module list as much as possible. I have a wifi card (1814:0301, "RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI") driven by rt61 that I am not using at all (it shipped with my system and I never bothered to take it out, but I am using wired networking with e1000 exclusively).

Blacklisting the "rt61" module seems to have made my system much more stable. So perhaps rt61 has some locking bugs?

If someone could tell me how to build a linux image and restricted modules (I need that pesky fglrx module to see anything under X) package from source, I could turn on CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING etc. and try to get some more info about the specific problem. Unfortunately I've gotten lost trying to follow the Ubuntu kernel packaging...
