This box didn't boot on 2.6.18-rc2. (The last kernel I tested which worked (at least until it broke for other reasons...) was 2.6.17-rc2.) What happened was that after the ACPI error message in the log (appended), udevplug ran. udevplug sleeps for a tenth of a second. A sleep may happen to be rather longer than expected when the two CPUs in question have wildly varying ideas of what the current time is. :-( ("date" flipped values.) I can run a "git bisect". Somebody please tell me what the offending files or subdiretories might be, so that I don't waste time rebooting on inconsequential changes. Thanks.
