A followup on my previous thread. I worked through a number of the suggestions
in the KernelCommonProblems. The two kernel options that kept the system from
freezing were acpi=off and clocksource=jiffies. The system either froze or
crashed with any other options, including no options. Here is the grub.conf I
used to keep track of the experiments:

Question. Anyone know what I capabilities I lose with acpi=off or
clocksource=jiffies?
Now off to bugzilla.
