Just let me know what kernel source (vanilla/deb sid/etc), version, or any particular .config options that you would like me to test, and I can see about pasting the console terminal output when running without noapic disabled. Thanks! Really, anything 3.0 or later would be interesting (mainline is better than distro-patched), with a .config that panics in an older version. Testing with a stock Debian squeeze kernel would be interesting, too. Well, I grabbed a git copy from about 2 days ago and compiled/booted it up. It was 3.1.0-rc7, and with noapic, it boots up debian squeeze just fine, and if I leave noapic option out of grub, it fails to boot. It wasn't a panic though. Basically, it got to the point where it tried to load its megaraid and aic7xx modules, and then choked when it hit cryptsetup, since the drives weren't available. It was complaining about something to do with INTD and INTA not being available or something. I actually recompiled an extra time without aic7xx new driver (used old) to see if it helped since the first time aic7xx was complaining about some kind of scsi reset over and over, but it didn't help. On the recompile, it just started happening to the megaraid instead. Sorry that I don't have the dmesg for you just yet. I need to minicom over and capture, save, etc. to get that off that machine. Just thought I would let you know that noapic is still required, before you forget about me :) Anyways, let me know if you even need the bootup log or not still. Talk to you soon. \o -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Alexey, any ideas for tracking this down? No worries, not like these machines are useful for much beyond museum pieces any more ;) Sorry about the pastebin.ca though, I didn't realize that they were gone.
