Ben, Another option that may be worth trying is 'noapic'. Wow, that worked just fine actually on 2.6.26 stock kernel. Thanks a lot! I am curious though, what in the world changed since 2.6.18 and lower versions that might have required noapic? I've seen the option needed by so many people on

Ok, I am currently compiling the 2.6.32 debianized kernel with the config from the lenny package. Ooops, small correction. What I meant to say was that I am compiling the 2.6.32 source from squeeze using the squeeze config in the .deb, not the lenny config. ie: it should end up effectively a
