2.4.6-pre[5-8] fails to boot on my computer but ...

[Mircea Damian]

... 2.4.0 - 2.4.5-pre1 work just fine.

Since the last changes related to the softirq stuff I'm getting an OOPS at
boot after:

Calibrating delay loop... kernel BUG at softirq.c:206!

Here is the decode trace:

Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!


If you need any other info please see my previous post:
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0106.2/0790.html

(about the same problem and the OOPS is almost the same) 

or just drop me an e-mail.

Please advise!
