It looks as though your not using local apic which is included in the
the 2.6.3-7 kernel. you can check
/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7..../arch/i386/defconfig* to find out what was
confgured in any kernel and
/usr/src/linux-2.6.3-7..../Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to
read what lilo append will accept, if ya didn't already know.
but.. my box is using lapic with the tmb kernel. And the 2.6.3-7
would work with lapic but wouldnt come from suspend.
Mark Annandale posted that he put 'noapic lapic' in lilo and IIRC
this was posted before as a fix, and he seems to be working now.
You could try that and see if this fixes anything ..
I didn't try the 2.4.25 kernel but I could boot the 2.6.3-7 kernel
and sound worked but no eth0 and was having DMA issues.
I did have a share with usb-ohci and eth0 on irq 12 which seemed to
be the problem. my interrupts are like this now.

My Audigy sound card will work when I run alsaconf but not at boot
time, so I have to figure out whats wrong with the module or driver ?
no time for it at the moment 8(

oh, sorry John, I have broadband and its pretty cheap hear in
Detroit.
I'll check the cooker mailing list for any thing that may help, but I
know a few others are still having problems with some USB issues, not
sure what tho'
