The latest stable snapshot of Linus' tree panics during boot for me. "git describe" says "v2.6.27-2721-gfd04808". I was only able to take a picture of the panic with my phone camera, see [1] and [2] (sorry for the awful quality). After looking around, I marked a few commits, and I think I got lucky - reverted the first one, and my machine booted up normally. The commit I reverted is : author Ivan Vecera Tue, 23 Sep 2008 22:46:29 +0000 (22:46 +0000) committer David S.
