Bug#492721: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686: doesn't boot on Via EPIA EK

Package: linux-image-2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686
Version: 2.6.24-6~etchnhalf.4
Severity: important


The 2.6.24-etchnhalf kernel will not boot at all on my VIA EPIA EK. I
was rather looking forward to being able to use a stable distro kernel
(2.6.18 doesn't support power management on the CPU, which is why I
had to use a custom 2.6.21 until now.)

The crash occurs immediately after selecting the kernel in the grub
menu. Top half of the screen has "Ok, booting the kernel ..." as its
last line, bottom half is a dump of something, titled BUG.

I could photograph the screen if required.

Thanks,

C.
