Thanks.  By the way, what was the last working and first non-working
PAE kernel you tried?

Please test without the nvidia driver, to rule out that cause.

Aside from that, the only idea I have is that it could be
ASPM-related (just because that's something that people have been
experimenting with recently).  I have high hopes for 7f92c4f7d92a
(not touching any PCIe features unless the platform grants full
control via _OSC) but that is not even in mainline.

Please also attach full "dmesg" and "acpidump" output after a normal
boot.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
