Today I got two separate reports that the quirk_via_abnormal_poweroff
PCI quirk added in 2.6.17 breaks booting on some boxes.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=210817

This has been around for a while, as it seems to also be affecting
Ubuntu users: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/63134

We seem to have a habit of running VIA quirks on systems that don't always
need them. :-/

Hmm. Interesting. I've verified that the two chipsets included both need 
the quirk under certain circumstances, but why is the write killing the 
kernel?
