apologies for replying to myself...

the solution to this problem (for me) was to boot the kernel with "noapic" =
on
the command line.  (note to self, always pay attention to email from dave
jones :-)

if anyone could point me to more info on this bug i'd be appreciative (an
lkml thread that i missed the first time around maybe?)  thanks anyway!
