I can confirm this. Hardware is a dell 2400 (dual p3 coppermine, ServerWorks
CNB20LE chipset, gcc version 2.96 (Red Hat 7.2 base).

I've run rc2 already and it was fine, rc2-ac2 did not work, ditto with
rc3-ac1.

The .config (attached) is the same .config used for the rc2 kernel
with the exception of the new options. I've also attached a diff bettween the
-rc3-ac1 and the -rc2 kernel configs to see if there was anything odd
turned on.

A couple oddities I do have turned on (RZ1000 chipset, PIIX and PIIX tuning,
Intel RNG) should not cause problems (ie should be ignored).
