My laptop does not boot changing from kernel 2.6.13 to 2.6.14. It stops early. Seems to be pci related. last view lines where 2.6.14 stops (copyed from 2.6.13 dmesg) PCI: Using configuration type 1 Linux Plug and Play Support v0.97 (c) Adam Belay SCSI subsystem initialized PCI: Probing PCI hardware PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00) Boot video device is 0000:00:09.0 PCI: Using IRQ router PIIX/ICH [8086/7198] at 0000:00:07.0 PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:00:0b.0 PCI: BIOS reporting unknown device 00:01 PCI: BIOS reporting unknown device 00:02 PCI: Bus 1, cardbus bridge: 0000:00:08.0 IO window: 00002000-00002fff IO window: 00004000-00004fff PREFETCH window: 0c000000-0dffffff MEM window: 0e000000-0fffffff PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 0000:00:08.0 Machine check exception polling timer started. Kernels tried: 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 boots fine 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 broken 2.6.15-rc4 (vanilla) broken >=2.6.14 boots with parameter pci=off or pci=conf2 (both found no pci devs). pci={bios|nobios|conf1|nosort|biosirq} do not work. I tried all PCI access methodes (Any, Direct, MMConfig, BIOS). ACPI is broken on this machine (disabled, on blacklist, see dmesg). Also tried a kernel with everything disable from Power Managment. Don't know how to tinker. Possible upstream bug.

Please confirm that the last few lines you see on-screen *are* exactly the same as the section from the 2.6.13 log (they might be slightly different...) and then file a bug against 2.6.15-rc4 at http://bugzilla.kernel.org and post the new bug URL here.

Ok. I will do this on monday, when I'm back in the office. For now I created an account at http://bugzilla.kernel.org. I feel a bit unsure, because I'm not a programer or a kernel geek. bug URL follows soon.
