Found the answer to my 2.6.8 kernel problems
Recently brought up a P3 for the linux box, and lo and behold, it always always froze using the Sarge 2.6.8 kernel at
ACPI: IRQ 9: SCI: Level Trigger
There is, however, an answer to this problem! Shut off the ACPI. From the grub boot menu, edit the 2.6.8 kernel thing, and in the line where it says kernel, put in
acpi=off
at the end. Tain't too bad :-) Alternately, you can use the 2.4.27 kernel, and where it asks for the mouse for X, make sure you're using /dev/psaux, not the /dev/mouse, I think that the kernel needs the HAL for that, and only the 2.6 series has the HAL. I'm hoping that the HAL stands for Hardware Abstraction Layer, oh well :-)
