Subject: Kernel panic with 2.6.39.1 - switching off HT in BIOS helps

Hi,
I've just stated, that the machine, in which I've experienced the 
problem boots correctly also without "acpi=off", when I switch off
HyperThreading (HT) in BIOS. As kernel works correctly on machine
with "true SMP" (Intel Core2 Duo), it seems that the problem must be 
related to HT specific part of kernel:

first report and thread:  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1150275
gzipped .config: 
http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/linux/kernel/1150276-001.bin )
