So looks like I figured it out .. I came across this bug reference
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=728692 and thought of
checking out my problem with ACPI turned off. And with ACPI turned off, the
problem doesnt happen. So theres something that the igb driver is not happy
about when acpi is on .. Any thoughts ?
Rgds,
Gopa.
