Hi all,
I get the following Opps on my K7 VIA box with acpi=off. I use acpi=off
as with ACPI I have *very* high software interrupt (si) load,

and elinks is not actually doing anything.
Anyway, the oops was captured via a null-modem cable. The kernel is the
current Debian kernel. The Opps occurs early in the boot processes soon
after io schedulers are registered and before any ide or nvidia modules
loaded. The oops is,

If ACPI is left with default value, then everything runs correctly.
Well, except for the high SI load. I disabled ACPI in 2.6.17 as that
corrected the SI load situation, but acpi=off causes that oops in 2.6.18
so....
With acpi default setting, the boot process continues though this spot
correctly,

The kernel parameters that cause the Oops are,
Kernel command line: root=/dev/sdb3 acpi=off ro console=ttyS0
and it works correctly with,
Please let me know if you require additional information to diagnose
this error or to test a fix. I'm not on this ML so please CC me in replies.
Thank you,
