Does booting with "nolapic" help on all of the affected systems?

Also, does disabling the CPUidle during boot help?

Finally, is the problem reproducible with CONFIG_NO_HZ unset?

Well on two machines, nolapic cures the boot hang and on one machine it 
cures the random shutdown hangs.

I'll compile a kernel with CONFIG_NO_HZ to see what happens but how do I 
disable cpuidle during boot? I've checked the kernel-parameters.txt but 
there's no cpuidle related boot parameter there.

Booting with intel_idle.max_cstate=0 should do the trick.

Thanks,
Rafael
