Your symptoms are not the same as mine. In my case the lockups are
complete. No switching of vt's, no pings, nothing at all. 

I never saw any "microuptime() went backwards" messages either. But then
again, I never had the machine lockup on the console; I was usually logged
in over the network or working in X.
