Kernel panic in 2.6.19-rc1
I'm getting kernel panics within a few minutes of boot with 2.6.19-rc1 (latest git) on x86_64. Other than "make oldconfig", it's an identical configuration to a working kernel on 2.6.18.

Still looking to determine the reason it breaks things. -- David Gibson | I'll have... 13 Oct 2006 13:35
