Comment 50 for bug 326891

Hi! I've tried 2.6.27-13-server on a system with an Intel 945GC motherboard running Intrepid 64. It causes a kernel panic on boot. I can get a screen-shot if it's useful.

The last kernel that works on the machine is 2.6.24-21-server:

$ dmesg | grep -E r8169\|Linux\|eth0

I'm not sure what I need to try a 32 bit version, but if it needs a separate partition then I can't try it anytime soon. Would it help to try a -generic kernel? (It's a headless machine so it's a bit of a chore, but I can do it if it's helpful.)
