RE: 2.4.[35] + Dell Poweredge 8450 + Oops on boot
Just before I got your suggestion, I tried just that (disabling the PNP Bios) .. I looked up the trace addresses in the system.map (which I forgot to include) and saw that it was from the pnp bios) .. It did the trick :) I will also see if there's an updated bios available ..

(You claim you tried a different system with a dual-channel, but that would be the PERC 2/DC). There's a bug in the megaraid driver for some versions of the PERC 2/SC firmware which can cause an oops when the megaraid driver loads. It's fixed by upgrading to v3.13 firmware, available by link on http://domsch.com/linux. That *shouldn't* be the problem, as I don't see the megaraid sign-on message, but it could be. Also, the onboard SCSI adapter isn't an Adaptec, it's a Symbios 810.
