2.6 series kernels on HP Netserver LH4 - kernel panic on boot
First, sorry if this ends up being a double-post, but here goes:
In attempting to migrate to the 2.6 series Linux kernel on my HP
Netserver LH4, I've run into a kernel panic on boot. This happens
nearly immediately upon booting to the kernel, and so quickly that I
can't make out anything other than the truncated (transcribed) dump
appended below.
2.4.x kernels work without a hitch on this system (I was trying to move
from 2.4.26 to 2.6.6 or 2.6.7 -- both of which produce the same
problem.). I've also searched around a bit online, and found a couple
other mentions of what seem to be the same problem, however, there were
no replies to go along with them.
The dump below is from a vanilla 2.6.7 kernel:

Any help on this would be much appreciated, and I would be more than
happy to provide any additional information which may be needed.
Thanks,
Andrew Feldhacker

2.4.26 kernel.)
