Hi Mark,
Have you tried booting with acpi=off ?
Also, since it's a new build, have you done a memory test to be sure it is stable? Getting the RAM timings/voltages right is usually one of the biggest hurdles in building a new machine in my experiences. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
