Lockup warnings almost certainly won't make it into dmesg (at the point it i=
s locked up the kernel is unable to schedule user processes)

Instead they will be printed solely to your console, if your consoles screen=
 is in text mode (so no X server running  on that display), and the display i=
s not blanked.

It is also possible that your kernel has soft lockup detection disabled. Mos=
t distributions enable this, but it wouldn't be the first time that an unusu=
al gentoo configuration has caught us out.

Could you try configuring your system so that it panics on soft lockup, and l=
et me know the results.

I should be able to grab the message from the list queue and forward it on t=
o the relevant parties.
