Yes, I plan to test this also, depending on at what stage my reboot
tactics indicates where the problem is. The aim being to be able to
connect to a running kernel. When it will be achieved, the harder will
have been made.

I have already built a custom kernel (with acpismbus* added since the
machine has IvyBridge and it is related, and it's not in GENERIC) and
will start to debug tomorrow.

Best,
