I didn't get past the first message.  I thought about what you said
about cold booting.  And then I thought it might help if I enabled the
APIC.  Then I thought maybe I should start going to bed earlier.

I enabled the APIC this morning when I got into work and now I got the
expected results:  boot went fine until xdm started and then the machine
paniced.  Of course, X had already grabbed the screen, so I couldn't see
the exact nature of the panic.

[seg]

I'm telling ya though, those ugly grey on red kernel messages almost
make me want to switch back to the syscons driver.  Ugh, who made that
decision, and WHY? ;-)
