Up through 2.4.4 it has performed flawlessly. Kernels 2.4.5 and 2.4.6 will not complete the boot. Boot looks normal through the F0 0F check, and the message about "Intel old style machine check architecture supported.". It then spews a semi-infinite stream of: "CPU#0: Machine Check Exception: 0x 10C1D0 (type 0x 9)." lines (until at least the reset button is pressed. I caught this by setting up for serial console at 300bps, which slowed the screen enough to make notes by hand. This new check in bluesmoke.c is causing severe indigestion to a formerly reliable system. Suggestions appreciated, and glad to run any tests, but will be leaving Monday Jul. 9 for 2 weeks away from computers.
