[BUG] netconsole hangs machine 2.6.20

Hello,

netconsole is hanging my box during IDE init.

I am running 2.6.20.7, config is attached from /proc

Without using netconsole the kernel boots fine. I am writing this message from it. 

When I do enable net-console I get from the linux banner to a couple of lines after
"sanitize end" on the logging client ( Mac OS X 10.4 , simple nc listener )

The boot continues until hde (handled by the HPT366 driver, hdg is the last drive )
and then the kernel just hangs.

Also two previous mails to lkml have disappeared. Debugging is getting really hard
when it is unbounded recursion :)

Cheers,
Mike Mattie

I don't really have a theory for that. What NIC are you using? Looks
like VIA Rhine? Is it sharing an IRQ with your IDE interface?

Please post your boot messages with "debug" on the kernel command
line.
