For the AC kernels, try backing out just the IDE patches, and see if
that allows you to boot.

For 2.6, does the machine finish booting, and then panic, or does it
panic during the boot?  Did you try any of the 2.5 kernels, or did you
start with 2.6?  If it panics during boot, does it always panic at the
same place, and if so where?  Posting the boot time output of dmesg,
and lspci -vvv would be helpful here.

John.
