Done.

I got this from the early printk:

Bootdata ok (command line is root=/dev/hdc6 vga=792 selinux=0 noapic resume=/dev/hdc3 console=ttyS0,57600 console=tty0 debug earlyprintk=serial,tt

It shows that there's something wrong with get_smp_config(), but it shouldn't
have been called in the first place, as it was a non-SMP kernel.

The appended patch fixes the issue for me, but still if I run an SMP kernel on this
box, it crashes in get_smp_config().

If you want me to debug this further, please tell me what to do next.

Greetings,
Rafael
