For whatever reason, it was quite reproducible yesterday.  I notice that it
often (50+% of the time) failed on soft reboot, but I don't think it failed
a single time when I then went and powered it down fully and powered it back on.

So possibly it is some un-initialized memory somewhere that is exacerbating
some problem.

I will keep a watch on these errors and see if they always related to libclocksource.
Looks like 'rt.so.1' is what it cannot find though?  So maybe nothing particular to
do with /sys?

Thanks,
Ben
