I'll assume somewhere in there you'll make some attempts to get SATA DMA enabled as per our earlier discussions off list? I tried both those kernels on my Dell Diminsion 8300 which has a similar ICH5 although the Dell BIOS doesn't support putting the controller in "legacy" mode. Both see the PATA and SATA drives just fine w/ DMA. The console log is in the same place as the kernels.
Do you know what MB is in the system? Is the memory configuration NUMA --
Jimbo is in the colo now, and by visual inspection, the mobo is: on the 4 new P4s: Superdot P4SCE, Rev. 2.1 on the older P4s: Superdot P4SCE, same as above, except Rev. 2.01
each CPU has it's own memory pool? (This is a important thing to know and should be noted for building an optimized kernel. There is a slight performance penalty for "off cpu" memory access.)
