(It's actually Vectra XU 5/90, not 90/5 - now that I have physical access to the box again. The google is full of horror stories about problems with this particular model ;).
I tried SMP kernel, and it went a little further (no MCE) but it halted after "Intel old style machine check architecture supported". For some odd reason, linux says the box has 2 cpu's during boot, but it afaik only has one.
The I forced mce_disabled to 1 in bluesmoke.c, and the SMP kernel booted. During init, it oopsed, however.
I then compiled an UP kernel again, with mce_disabled=1 (same as "nomce" I gather), and it booted.
The 3c509 appears not to work (but was found), scsi cdrom coughs badly but it did boot :).
Thanks.
