I don't think so. I once had the same problem with my board. On 2.6.16.x I =
got=20
same message. 2.6.18-rcx booted further, but hanged. Above parameter helped=

though with 2.6.18-rc. As I haven't tested 2.6.17 nor 2.6.16 with obve=20
parameter, I could only guess. The real fix for me though was to disable th=

nvidia quirk. Then my system boots and runs fine with 2.6.18-rc kernel w/o=

any additional parameter. You may want to look into:
