Tried it, but all it did was add a line of error messages, now I see

    Uncompressing Linux ...
    BIOS bug, no explicit IRQ entries, using default mptable (tell your hw 
vendor)
    PCI:  Failed to allocate ...

I do see a couple of mentions of the same error message over on the 
linux-kernel
list, so Im not alone.  Will try one of the 2.6.16-pre kernels and see if its
been magically been fixed.

At least its not just me.
