Hi !
>As I tested yesterday extensively, the problem wasn't present at 2.6.24-rc5-git6 (SYS \ >Linux 0.17 install DVD) nor at 2.6.24-rc6-git2 (SYS 0.19) , but at 2.6.24-rc6-git8 \ >(SYS 0.20-rc1 and 0.20-rc2) and 2.6.25 (0.21-r3).
any chance to git-bisect that further, to find the single commit which broke your kernel?
regards roland

As I tested yesterday extensively, the problem wasn't present at 2.6.24-rc5-git6 (SYS \ Linux 0.17 install DVD) nor at 2.6.24-rc6-git2 (SYS 0.19) , but at 2.6.24-rc6-git8 \ (SYS 0.20-rc1 and 0.20-rc2) and 2.6.25 (0.21-r3).
The whole compiled packages of these kernels still are at copaya.yi.org/tgz , but I \ extracted the important parts, see enclosed here. The .tar.bz2 file contains the \ config and the protocoll of the compilation (inclusive warning / error messages).
As you can see, the diff between the config of 2.6.24-rc6-git2 and -git8 is nothing. \ That means: THE ERROR ENTERED INTO THE KERNEL BETWEEN THESE TWO GITs !!
You may also analyze the error/warning messages. Please observe that the error \ message just at the beginning was already subject of another reclamation mine \ together with another person, and seems to have be corrected.
I inform still about the following: As I make many experients and also install \ Linux often for firnds and neighbours, I see steady-steady some kernel errors, but \ have normally no time to track them, in the house of the persons. That error here, I \ saw already several times, and never it helped the edd=off option. Yesterday it \ happened that a friend brought a laptop (ACER Aspire 7004WSMi) to me, after he was \ unsuccessfull to install SYS 0.21-r3 dvd with 2.6.25-rc7 . Then I tracked that \ problem during about 5 hours, inclusively trying a lot of different kernel options. \ edd=off don't work at all, with no of the affected kernels. With 2.6.24-rc6-git2 and \ earlier kernels the problem didnt appear, even without edd=off option, and with the \ later kernels it appears, even with edd=off . With pci=off , also the recent \ kernels boots -- but this is useless because the system don't find any hard disk. \ acpi=off or hwprobe=off have no influence on that problem.
Pls search that error and repair it ! ********** YOU SHOULD MAKE AN EXTRA KERNEL OPTION, WHAT IGNORES THE HARDWARE AND \ CONTINUES TO BOOT, like pci=off, BUT WHAT DETECTS CD ROMS, HARD DISKS SATA / IDE / \ RAID , AND WHAT PERMITS TO USE THE COMPUTER NORMALLY AT LEAST IN VESA-FB OR FBDEV \ MODE !!!!! *************
As there has no other solution, I released last night SYS 0.21-r4 DVD , what contains \ both, the 2.6.25 , and alternatively 2.6.24-rc6-git2 , so that people can use them \ computer anyway / anyhow : ftp://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/install/sys/
I can put the suggested debug, generally, in the kernel command line of my SYS \ install DVD. However, the person gone with his laptop so that at the moment I cannot \ test it; I have to wait if the same problem occurs on another computer.
