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.
