Re: 2.6.30.1-4 kernels freezes dual pentium-3 system

Just a quick followup, I've been doing a git bisect run over the past
week or so trying to narrow this down.  It's slow, since the system
doesn't hang at any one point reliably.  So I far, here's my git log:

Part of what slows me down is having to apply my patch to a scsi
driver to ratelimit printks, otherwise I can spend over 30+ minutes
waiting just for the console to scoll an endless stream of messages
before it will continue to boot.  Or even longer.  :]

More as I get closer.
