Thanks. I will try out today's linux-next later today (if I can find
the time for it).

Just in case it helps track down the problem: Adding percpu=100000 to
the kernel command line got the thing booting for me. The number
itself was picked at random, but it worked on the first try. The
machine is a single-core P4 3.0 GHz with HT, 1G RAM, using slightly
modified F9 config.
