you should have used some serial console ...

hmm, guess not, we had moderate good reports some with
ksymoops and some without, everything points to some
scheduling from/within a softirq (preferable ethernet)
but there are too few reports including the hardware

without a kernel debugger attached ...
(please correct me if I'm wrong)
