I have a dual Pentium III I use for testing. Since late last week (around about 2.6.17-rc3) it hangs during boot just after "Setting up standard PCI resources". 2.6.17-rc2 works fine.

Bummer

Strange (but different) behavior also seen on a PE2650.

A push in the right direction would be appreciated. Please reply off list as I'm not subscribed.


Is there any chance you can do a git-bisect to find the bad patch?

Done. The bad patch was Badari's first vectored I/O patch. Removing the patch fixes the badness on both systems. I reported this to Badari late yesterday afternoon.

He hasn't seen this behavior in his test environment, which is only ppc64 and amd64.
