Kernel Panic: pci_bios_find_device on MSI 915P Combo, P4 HT, ATI X800 PCI Express

Friend tries to install Suse 10.0 on his computer: - MSI 915P Combo board - Pentium 4 3.4GHz Hyperthreading - ATI x800 PCI Express graphics card - SATA on-board controller with 80G sata hard drive Kernel panic happens everytime, regardless of - booting safe mode or booting regular - disabling or enabling HT in the bios Knoppix 4.0.2 (CD-version) with kernel 2.6.12 boots, and seems to detect everything except the network card.
Created attachment 64394 [details] Picture of the panic (part one, taken with mobile phone)
Created attachment 64395 [details] Picture of the panic (part two)
Created attachment 64396 [details] Picture of the panic (part three)
Here the interesting part of the pictures: EIP: 0060:<0xc00f0488> pci_bios_find_device (0x1e/0x40) pci_bios_sort pci_bios_init do_initcalls Please try pci=noacpi - if this does not help try noapic boot options. One of both should help. BTW: There is a patch pending for YOU update kernel that solves a problem on some P4 HT. However this is not available yet, so better disable HT for now (only some are affected, but you never know). I close this one for as this seem to me like a very machine specific bug, for which we probably won't put anything into 10.0. Please try the latest OpenSuse 10.1 version and reopen if you still face this problem (or if above boot params did not work).
