Of course :)

2.6.0 plus your above patch yields a very similar panic, though not
  100% identical.

* EIP is at the same place
* Call trace is missing delay_tsc, otherwise identical, offsets included
* First three blocks of the stack differ (all the rest looked identical)
* There is no "VLI" string after "Not Tainted" (I assume it's another
    part of the -mm1 patch)

So yup, you got the part that makes -mm1 unbootable here :)

Here's my ACPI options:

[asuardi@incident linux]$ grep -i acpi .config
# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
CONFIG_ACPI=y
CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT=y

CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y
# CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ_PROC_INTF is not set
# CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_ACPI is not set

Available for any fiddling. Ah, holidays ;)


Thanks, ciao,
