Just for information, this issue seems to be specific to recent intel motherboards and is discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=125841

Thanks. I can throw https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=101570&action=view
into my 2.6.8-rc4 packages, if you're interested in testing them out.

Actually, looks like it's already in 2.6.8-rc4. Once my colo box is
fixed, I can give you a link to kernel packages..

Hello
I don't think it is included in upstream 2.6.8-rc4, neither in 2.6.8.
but the ACPI staff has released a new revision that resolves this issue among others:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109246673924042&w=2

<[email protected]> (04/08/14 1.1731.1.29)
[ACPI] Enter ACPI mode earlier
Fixes two common boot failures due to buggy SMM BIOS code

SMP boot crash if SMI_CMD=ACPI written from CPU1
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2941

hopefully this patch is also available against 2.6.7, I'm currently running it and it works well. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/patches/release/2.6.7/ (20040326 has to be applied before 20040715)

Not all that interested in the non-oopsing kernel boot log; can you send
the boot log of the oopsing kernel? Also, you can try passing
acpi=off to the kernel to keep it from oopsing. Alternatively, if it's
just the pci apci stuff that's causing problems (i've had problems w/ this code), try pci=noacpi.

Not unless there is an easy way to capture it, as the kernel either
panics or hangs.

Also, you can try passing acpi=off to the kernel to keep it from oopsing.

This works,

Alternatively, if it's just the pci apci stuff that's causing problems (i've had problems w/ this
code), try pci=noacpi.

This does not

Additionally i had no problems with 2.6.6-1-686-smp
