I did an additional test to determine if psmouse's lost synchronization
errors were the cause of the random freezes.

I blacklisted the psmouse kernel module at /etc/modprobe.d/ and
eventually my laptop froze until I pressed a key. Unfortunately, there
were not any error messages either on dmesg or /var/log/messages.

So the problem does not reside on psmouse kernel module. I think that
some people complaining about these errors all over the Internet may be
facing the same problem than me but masked by the psmouse's lost sync
complaints.

I left the computer alone while running 'top' and waited until it froze.
Just after I touched a key the system (kernel) CPU usage banged up to
50%, which seems to mean that eats up all the cycles from one of the
processors (It's a Core 2 Duo).

Please tell me if there is any other test I can do to help locating the
issue. Now I ran out of ideas.

Does this error still occur with the current Lenny versions?

Cheers,

I'm installing 2.6.26-10 right now and I'll give it a try the following days.
I have a busy week so maybe I won't be able to run and watch it until
Thursday or Friday.

Sorry about the delay. I had no freezes with 2.6.26-10 :-)
