For the AC kernels, try backing out just the IDE patches, and see if
that allows you to boot.

For 2.6, does the machine finish booting, and then panic, or does it
panic during the boot?  Did you try any of the 2.5 kernels, or did you
start with 2.6?  If it panics during boot, does it always panic at the
same place, and if so where?  Posting the boot time output of dmesg,
and lspci -vvv would be helpful here.

I dont think 2.6-ac has any IDE patches. Its a fair collection of driver
stuff so it could be hitting one of the driver things easily enough

I got one of those in my office running 2.4.21-ac.  It runs well. Do you want 
to try my kernel?  Those boards are real sensitive to ESD and constantly 
loose their BIOS values if you swap a board out or pull a cable. I had one 
that refused to boot on me today and I just pulled and reseated the PCI cards 
and it came back to life.

It's 2.4-ac that he's testing.  The 2.6 non-boot issue is separate.

issues with any ac sources, and 2.6

[Bastian]

hi, 
i run a tyan tiger s2462 board with dual athlons, with the gentoo flavor on it, 
recently i tried to run the ac sourcess kernel on this machine, however upon boot the machine would just freeze up in the middle of kernel boot, either dying while attaching ide's to devices or while detecting the ide chipset, the odd part to this is that using generic linux sources the machine boots just fine
the other issue seems to be that using the 2.6-beta versions it panic.
it does so by telling me that i have corrupt cpu context and then panics, there are no hints or warning as to what it could be 
any help would be greatly appreciated
