Hi, right now I don't have access to the computer - due to quarantine restrictions I cannot move from my house.

I book using the odl kernel, no freeze and was able to compile for hours.

No, I think it is a "hard freeze" since "shutdown" via APCI doesn't work (sngle quick power button press). > (5) Surely there is some relevant partial shutdown, dumping, > and/or logging procedure that would provide clues? I am using ascii on another laptop which I have here and can use in quarantine and it works fine! Should be installed and configured the same way, with debian ascii. One big difference: AMD CPU, so for sure a different cpu and has less vulnerabilities and will be mitigated differently. Is there a way to disable spectire/meltdown mitigations on the kernel command line? It would be a nice way to test if it helps and if thereis also a penalty in speed. I might as well as disable them forever in case.
