Description of Problem: 
On a dual Pentium III 700 (Asus P2B-D mainboard), 2.4.18-0.5smp crashes on startup; the 
part of the dump readable without a serial console or turning on framebuffer mode [this 
happens before shift-PgUp starts working] is:

Additional Information: 
Windows emulation is good for end users, but emulating even *this* behavior of Windows is 
taking it a step too far ;)
