Well, I hope this is only my environment side problem, but I met a
serious problem with both 2.4.27 and 2.6.8 for i386 architecture.

2.4.27 won't load specific ide driver for support DMA transfer, and
2.6.8 dumps oops and crashes immediately around ACPI. (they are
already reported to BTS)

2.4.26 and 2.6.7 work...
