This was blamed on the RAID in the foums, but i've since found that the ac tree and the redhat tree (it's their code for the raid driver) boot just fine in smp mode (although, ofc, neither of these have XFS support, and so both panic as soon as they try to mount /). I've also tried ripping the aacraid code out of the ac kernel and dropping it into the gentoo-sources one, but the same thing occurs. Can someone point me at the next thing to investigate here? am wondering if it's the chipset, as the boot always dies approx 10 seconds into the bootstrap, regardless of which particular part of the kernel is being loaded at that point.
