Re: 2.5.47-ac4 panic on boot.

Ok..that worked:

for future reference...what is the important part of the oops so I don't have 
to type the useless parts?

I'm guessing just the Call Trace, which is:

pnpbios_set_resources+0x7c/0x90
pnp_activate_dev+0xe6/0x114
pnp_device_probe+0x33/0xc4
bus_match+0x37/0x5c
driver_attach+0x44/0x74
bus_add_driver+0x60/0x80
driver_register+0x69/0x84
pnp_register_driver+0x29/0x48
init+0x0/0x13c
init+0x1a/0x13c
init+0x0/0x13c
kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0xc
