Hi Ingo,

I've rediffed O5 agains 2.6.8-rc4-mm1-staircase. It compiles and boots
for me when using voluntary-preempt=1; 2 and 3 lock up the system right
after the line: 'Probing IDE interface ide1...' (dmesg & .config
included).

staircase patch used: 
  http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.8/2.6.8-rc4-mm1/from_2.6.8-rc4-
mm1_to_staircase7.I

Thanks for all the effort,

Peter Zijlstra
