I too did a lot of testing, breaking my promise to do other stuff ;-) *Both* of your trees [the NMI and the cleanup/fixes tree], when merged produced hangs or spontaneous reboots, within 5 iterations typically. The failure modes were different: the NMI tree tended to do the spontaneous reboot thing, the fixes tree produced the soft hangs. I'm now re-testing pristine -tip again - which did the 50 and 70 series of successful bootups ... Thanks, Ingo
