Please identify which version of mesa you are using, and if possible what game (and whereabouts in the game) that triggered the hang.
Mesa 9.1.6 Played GZDoom (Doom2BFG, level2), 2 about in the game the GPU hang.
You'll want to update to a newer version of Mesa. In particular, Mesa 9.2.3 contains a lot of important fixes for Sandybridge GPU hangs, which greatly reduce the frequency of the hangs. You could also try Mesa 10.0.2, which has a few more fixes. Please let us know if you still experience this issue with a newer Mesa. Thanks, and sorry for the trouble!
I will test with mesa 10.0.3 and return.
tested with mesa 10.0.3, xf86-video-intel-2.99.909, same kernel, and got a hang. same game, but not same place.

Thanks for testing. This new GPU hang is coming from SNA, not the 3D driver. I'm going to assume that your original 3D hang was fixed by upgrading, and reassign this to Chris...
Sorry, forgot to mention: the reason I suspect SNA is that IPEHR is MI_WAIT_FOR_EVENT, which Mesa never emits, but SNA does.
