Found a solution: disable cpufreq.  I also saw these:

	May 16 12:39:48 andromeda kernel: cpufreq: change failed with new_state
	0 and result 3
	May 16 14:59:13 andromeda kernel: cpufreq: change failed with new_state
	0 and result 3
	May 16 14:59:13 andromeda kernel: cpufreq: change failed with new_state
	0 and result 3
