Upgrading to kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 causes system to crash during startup. This happens reliably with two machines, both Dell Poweredge 2950's. Booting with the 2.6.18-1.2869 kernel works fine. Last line on the console during bootup was: Starting HAL daemon: do_IRQ: 0.161 No irq handler for vector /var/log/messages indicates that ahavi-daemon completed startup but there were no messages relating to HAL. Two startups with the bad kernel both seemed to crash as the same place

Same problem here - Dell 2950 - Quad Core Intel X5355 4G RAM. This happens on 2.6.19-1.2911 kernel as well. do_IRQ: 0.161 No irq handler for vector
I suspect the fix is the same as for bug 225399. My problems were less severe, but similar, and resolved by the patch Chuck referrences in that bug. If so desired, I can make my patched kernel available for testing (the patch requires some rediffing to get it to apply, mostly because of xen).
