As soon as userspace starts, the machine dies. On UP, it's a recursive panic that scrolls way off the screen. On SMP, you get an oops + NMI lockup; if you turn off the NMI watchdog, it recurses and then triple faults. Happens with both 332 and 338.
I am getting this on a UP with 332. 326 is OK
how are things with the current kernel ?
2.6.6-1.4<somethingorother> works.
