First post to the list, hope I get this right...

2.4.0-ac5 oopses very early on in the boot process. I can't get the
actual oops off of the machine, but this is what i managed to type into
my laptop:

It's an Athlon Tbird 1.1GHz on an ASUS A7V.  The oops happens before the
framebuffer kicks in, but that's all I can tell about the position of
it.  And no, I don't have any way to connect this machine to my laptop
other than my network card, so I can't capture the entire oops.  Sorry.

Oh, and my .config is attached.
