Is this a regression? Did previous kernels work ok? If so, can you bisect?

Yes, it's a regression - 2.6.38 and 2.6.38.2 run perfectly on the same system.

I haven't had much luck with the bisect though - halfway bisecting I encountered a commit that made my system unbootable because reassembling the RAID1 /boot partition failed. The log I have so far is:
