very strange.
now that it is back up...
Please file a bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org against idle/intel_idle
and assign it to me.

Please attach the complete output from dmesg -s 64000
and attach your .config

It appears that you have no acpi_idle driver installed.

If your kernel is missing
CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR=y
please add it and collect the info above.

thanks,
-Len
