It seems the 3.1 MP kernel still has some issues. I get tons of these
messages in my syslog.

It causes the connection to my UPS to be dropped, but I wouls suspect that
these are only symptoms of something else. After googling around a bit I
found info about this having to do with the MP code in the kernel. I'm not
nearly a good enough programmer to solve or even locate the source of the
errors.
Cheers,
Anders
