Hi Andrew/all

A stock standard 2.6.24 kernel worked fine, but it exhibited a problem
where the timer sources didnt run as expected. ( I didnt put too much
effort in to it as I wanted a hot off the press kernel ) in 2.6.24 the
ACPI done its job :-)

I am going to enable netconsole to try see if it can throw me a bone.

Thanks,
Richard
