[Bug 36998] Re: Flight 5 Kernel Won't Boot on an IBM Thinkpad R30

[draimus]

So I tried out the Dapper RC and.... it still doesn't work.  But I get
something new this time.  Now the graphical bootup stalls at "mounting
root filesystem" and switching over to the 1st terminal and waiting for
about a minute or so reveals this "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!"

irqpoll does bring it up to the desktop as usual.  I do see that ide-cd
is loaded and /dev/hdc is present (can't recall if they were missing in
previous boots using older live CDs)... perhaps with irqpoll it is
possibly installable now.
