This kernel has all ide and scsi drivers built in (config attached) I can do the complete serial boot thing if really necessary, but someboby might have an inkling from these details jotted down by hand:
__fdomain_16x0_detect+29 init_this_scsi_driver+94 (RIP __fdomain_16x0_detect+419) Looks like the "Future Domain 16xx SCSI/AHA-2920A" scsi driver detect routine is doing something naughty. This is a Tyan 2885 dual x86_64 running a 64bit generic x86_64 kernel. It doesn't have any scsi hardware. In the meantime, I'm going to remove this driver from the .config Andrew Walrond
