Subject: 2.6.23-rc1: no setup signature found...

Hi there,

   2.6.23-rc1 won't boot on my Asus M6N laptop and the last thing it shows after loading
grub is "No setup signature found...," which, imho, comes from
arch/i386/boot/header.S. I tried printing out the value of setup_sig like so

<snip>
# Setup corrupt somehow...
setup_bad:
        movl    $setup_corrupt, %eax
        calll   puts
        movl    setup_sig, %eax
        calll   puts
        # Fall through...

        .globl  die
        .type   die, @function
die:
</snip>

but didn't have the time to lookup the proper way of printing the value of a variable in asm 
and am pretty sure that the printed value during boot: "1-" is wrong. Config attached.

    Boris.
