Well on two machines, nolapic cures the boot hang and on one machine it 
cures the random shutdown hangs.

I'll compile a kernel with CONFIG_NO_HZ to see what happens but how do I 
disable cpuidle during boot? I've checked the kernel-parameters.txt but 
there's no cpuidle related boot parameter there.
