Ok, that fixed the Seg fault.  But it is still not booting.
I am getting the following (ONLY when booting with my Kernel,
not with any of the stock kernels)


Retried with pci=noacpi, that did not fix this either.

Please help!  If anyone wants to look at this today (I leave
town tommorrow AM), please give call.  I will happily buy
whoever fixes this a lunch at their convenience.
(My phone number is in my SIG).

Thanks,
Steve
