I don't know what happened, but -rc8 does boot on this system, compiled using 4.4.3-2, _with_ acpi_pm lockup issues gone! (and cat current_clocksource does work) I've done (at least...) the following: - make-kpkg kernel_image kernel_headers reduced to kernel_image only (a very likely candidate, since the kernel_headers part had been added pretty much right before all that awful trouble with acpi_pm and reboots started) - disabled reportedly overly troublesome lilo.conf large-memory option (rerunning lilo did NOT manage to fix old -rc4 image boot, though) - upgraded a couple unrelated packages I'll try to get it nailed down some more. Note that even with a rebooting kernel, vga=ask did manage to show the menu successfully, and _after_ selection it did reboot, IMMEDIATELY.
