I tried this version with the same results.

It seems that I've got something weird in my compilation setup.

I set up a serial console to see the messages from boot and near the
beggining I get:

"Unknown bustype PCI - ignoring"

The code that generates this is at arch/i386/mpparse.c:

> } else if (strncmp(str, BUSTYPE_PCI, sizeof(BUSTYPE_PCI)-1) == 0) {
> ...

BUSTYPE_PCI is defined at include/asm-i386/mpspec_def.h:

#define BUSTYPE_PCI "PCI"

so that first "if" statement translates to

> } else if (strncmp(str, "PCI", 3) == 0) {

which should be always valid for "PCI ", and that message should never
appear :(

Well, sorry about the noise, I must dig deeper now...
