I was getting this on a stock 2.2.1 installation:

Panic: Bounce Buffers Out Of Range
=-=-=-=-=-

I got this when I took the GENERIC *or any* Kernel definition file, and 
added the line:
		options		"MAXMEM=262144"

Then it would report the above error on bootup, just after reporting 
kernel bus options.

Now, the problem only went away after removing a megabyte of ram.  When I 
changed it to:
		options		"MAXMEM=261120"

..it works fine.
