Seems that kernel panic is in calculate_acpi_pci_delay_cost() (or similar)

Setting "ACPI aware OS" to "Enabled" in the BIOS stops the kernel panic.

Still a bug but at least there is a workaround.

Comment 2 Darren Frith 2004-04-05 23:58:35 UTC
correct function name is acpi_pci_link_calc_penalties().

Confirmed not present in FC2test3

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
