I have noticed only on the Alpine hardware within an LPAR that is has
been sporadic. I assume that is due to the additional hardware resources
that can better handle the memory/stress test. All other tests have been
2 or 3 times each. More more than that. I can run the above kernel
tests, but mind you, each test takes several hours to half a days worth.
Running each test multiple times could take about a week to complete. We
really need to get this sorted out ASAP since it is holding up all Power
certification.

Bug description:
  memory_stress_ng, as part of server certification is failing for IBM
  Power S812LC(TN71-BP012) in bare metal mode. Failing in this case is
  defined by the test locking up the server in an unrecoverable state
  which only a reboot will fix.

  I will be attaching screen and kern logs for the failures and a
  successful run on 14.04 on the same server.
