Bug#393329: After seemingly successful install on Turion X2 system, freeze on boot

[Carl Fink <carl@finknetwork.com>]

Cesare asked me to test my RAM.

I ran memtest86+ overnight.  10 passes, no errors.

I don't think there was ever a RAM problem, I was just thrashing around,
trying to come up with something.

One more data point:  yesterday I acidentally booted into 2.6.16 and it
succeeded.  I got to xorg and was able to work normally.  A reboot
("shutdown -r") got stuck, just as the 486 kernel always does on reboot.  I
get a gray screen and no reboot.

Further attempts to boot 2.6.16 all freeze at the same point as before.  

Is there, perhaps, a debugging kernel I could test that logs everything?  If
there isn't a prebuilt one, I might just compile one this weekend.

If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be.
