Unit (WiMax version) has been very stable for last 36 hours (it rebooted one time, first time that has ever happen that I am aware of).
Trying to do a shutdown via the advanced-power app will cause a reboot on the first try then on the second it will shutdown. This seems to happen after the unit has been up for a few hours (not all the time). I suspect advanced-power or advanced-backlight or advanced-power-monitor or all of them are conflicting with Diablo-Turbo.
Web pages loads faster, most of the time.
I would recommend this kernel over the last one since I was not able to get that one to work.

Flakey and/or dying batteries will indeed cause reboots. My N810 runs unmodified Diablo, and it still has its original battery, which obviously is getting seriously old in the tooth... lately it started rebooting by itself each time I connect the charger to top it off, which is a typical end-of-life symptom. New but counterfeit units with dodgy specs will also behave like this early on.

I have had the shutdown issue twice on my N810 (not with this new kernel but just with the d-t packages).
These times the power button wasn't working with the "screen won't go off" issue too.
So maybe these issues are relationated???
When that happened advance-power option to shutdown the device just rebooted. Same second time to shutdown with the advance-power menu.
Third time all went fine. Advance-power option could shutdown N810, screen go off allright and device power button worked again.
So I think all these issues are different sides of the same problem.

NEWS:
...I finally located the "reboot at shutdown" bug, hidden in the arm assembler kernel code of the Diablo kernel. It's triggered by preemption at kernel level and its effects are not clear...
...Surprisingly, I also learned that the Diablo kernel is 2.6.21.0+omap with almost no bugfixes, while stable mainline reached 2.6.21.7 before Diablo was discontinued, so while I was at it, I imported all applicable bugfixes from 2.6.21.7, and then some from 2.6.22.x after the 2.6.21 end of line, making a grand total of 62 bugfixes.

Try this:

The alarm in Clock and Large-statusbar-clock fails to alarm and keeps the display from dimming/sleep. Must reboot to reset unit.
