I came in this morning, and did a 'git bisect reset' and 'git pull'
built, and everything booted fine. I don't know if some fix came in for
something else, or if the problem got "hidden" (some sort of timing
thing, so the problem still lurks). If you feel it's important to track
this down, if you could give me instructions on how to break apart that
one merge, I could then try individual kernels from there...

Thanks,
Alan
