I posted a few weeks ago regarding a random lockup problem I was seeing
whilst trying to install SELinux.  After much two motherboards, much
frustration, and a 3 week holiday, I've finally got to the bottom of it.

As was quickly pointed out when I posted, ACPI was a prime suspect.  I
eventually tracked the problem down to a 'Doze' mode which was enabled
on both of the motherboards I tried.  I disabled that last week and the
box has been running fine since.

Thanks to everybody who had suggestions, and apologies for implicating
SELinux by suspicion ;-)
