Yeah.  I came to that conclusion as well.

And in fact when booting with init=/bin/bash, it isn't even loaded at 
all, but that doesn't help unfortunately.

OK.  Rebuilding now.  I configured a kernel log buffer size of 524288 
(shift 19) so that should be good and big.

When done, I will boot into single user mode again and do a suspend/
resume and save the dmesg output and attach it here (or post it somewhere 
and point to it here).  Of course, I can't send the dmesg from the second 
cycle as it's dead after the second cycle resume.

If only this (what's turning out to be a POS) laptop (that's going back 
to the store if this does not resolve fairly soon) had a serial port I 
could get a serial console and capture that.
