Well, I can try tonight. Problem is, it crashes so soon that nothing appears
in the logs when I reboot with a good kernel. So I will have to write it down
and send it to you.

The "Rebooting in 180" message comes after it complains that it can't mount
the root volume. This is caused by the improper handling of the IDE bus. When
it goes to detect the drives it reports all kinds of jibberish, and thinks the
drives are huge, or really small.

I will try to write as much info down that I can tonight and send it to you.
Do you recall what option in the config turns off all the USB debug messages?
I don't see it in the menus (using menuconfig or xconfig) like it used to
appear in the stable (2.2.x) kernels.

Thx.
