Is there a backtrace?

Not all that interested in the non-oopsing kernel boot log; can you send
the boot log of the oopsing kernel? Also, you can try passing
acpi=3Doff to the kernel to keep it from oopsing. Alternatively, if it's
just the pci apci stuff that's causing problems (i've had problems w/ thi=
s
code), try pci=3Dnoacpi.
