If there's anything I can do to help nail it down, I will try to help.  The 
board I have does have a serial port and I can hook a laptop up to that to 
capture any dumps.

It is always a clean reboot though, not a hang or panic, maybe a sign of some 
gross CPU exception.  One way to close in on it might be to make the very 
early kernel init spin in a tight loop, move that around and use the reboot 
vs hang behaviour to probe where the evil is.  Assuming it even gets started 
on the kernel init.  Unfortunately I don't have the kernel-fu to do this 
easily myself.
