Is anyone else experiencing spontaneous reboots within a few minutes of
bootup? (If the system survives past the first 10 minutes, it stays up
for a long time, but it reliably does an instant reboot with no panic or
other indication a good 9 out of 10 times. The system is purely idle,
nothing going on. memtest86+ runs for hours with no failures.

Do the restarts occur exactly 5 minutes after bootup? That would
indicate a problem with jiffies overflow. Probably some buggy driver.

Well, could you send here your .config ? Do you have some strange hardware?

Oddly, yes. Or almost yes since I haven't measured it exactly. The
typical reboot is right around five minutes of uptime. The three times
that I did watch /proc/uptime, right around the 2nd column going to 300
seconds is when it rebooted.

[David Ford sent me some file slightly resembling .config]
Hello David,
Could you first try to completely disable CONFIG_I2C and see if the
kernel then survives the 5 minutes?
