--- Comment #1 from brendan_os <[email protected]> ---
I have done many, many tests with kernels from system rescue cds. 

None of the kernels I tried would boot and stay stable without extra
parameters. By stable I mean, did not reset/reboot automatically[1]. More
recent kernels would boot neat (ie no parameters) but would reset on a right
mouse click/menu operation. 

However, the following kernels would all boot and be stable with nohz=off
parameter:
3.10.25
3.10.32
3.10.55
3.12.7

The following needed acpi=off to boot and be stable. That is, nohz=off was not
enough to ensure a booted, stable system:
3.13.5
3.14.20
3.18.34
4.1.27


In one case (3.13.5) nohz=off gave a _stable system on alternate reboots_ first
boot unstable reboot stable, reboot unstable etc (rebooted  7 times).

Something seems to have happened between 3.12.7 and 3.13.5. Up to 3.12.7
nohz=off was enough to give me a stable system. From 3.13.5, I needed to use
acpi=off instead to get a stable system.

Note:
1: to test stability I typed uname -r into the console and ran the internet
browser, right clicked to get a menu, opened the applications menu. Typically
it would reboot within seconds of either a console or X starting (the usb boots
to a command line. You then startx).  If the system made it to X, right
clicking the mouse seemed to trigger a reset.   

Could someone take a look at this please?
