Are you *really* sure it's DBUS? I had a strange random lockup and it 
came down to the longhaul module in the powersave system. Some bug in it 
for the BIOS in the machine. Double check dmesg and /var/log/messages to 
make sure theres no strange error messages during the boot process 
especially during module loading.
