Please try 64bit latest kernel.
OK, I tried a stock 2.6.20.1 kernel. This kernel boots fine with the proprietary BIOS (see attached file minicom-gb-20070308-07-with-noapic.cap). With LinuxBIOS, it doesn't even get to the kernel panic - it simply fails to find its sata drives (sata_nv says it can't do anything with the SATA controller devices because there's no IRQ assigned). The boot fails consequently because it can't find its root filesystem. See the attached file minicom-gb-20070308-04.cap.
Thanks, Ward.
