Sorry for the typo, and thanks for the corrections.

Excellent --- I suspect that udev is actually a red herring and that
_any_ code executed during the early boot process is likely to
misbehave or segfault on this machine unless processor.nocst=1 is
passed.

In other words, this looks like incorrect execution or memory
corruption during boot.  Which is consistent with a broken _CST table.

Unfortunately the acpidump you sent does not include a _CST table.
The log you sent does not include any complaints about lack of a _CST
table, though.  Puzzling.

I recommend keeping processor.nocst=1 on the kernel command line for
now.  We should report this upstream to Len Brown and the
linux-a...@vger.kernel.org list, but I would like to delay that until
after the holidays to avoid overwhelming them.

Does disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS avoid trouble for you, too?
