Thanks Ingo. I'm narrowing down the reboot problem by pulling config
items out. I managed to get it to boot but now am trying to understand
how those config options are causing the problem.

Btw, it does not panic/reboot on linux-next with the original config.
Perhaps I should try and bisect to an earlier patch to see what that
reveals?

Thanks,
Mike
