I've spent a good deal of time trying to track this down over the
last couple of months.  I've compiled and booted under more configurations
than I care to count.  I'm absolutely certain that with a kernel
with no power management support at all, and all power management turned
off in the bios, the problem still persists.

Hmm.  Ok.

If there's something you can think of that I could do to gather more
information to help diagnose the problem, please let me know.

Thanks,

Eric
