Dear Thomas,

This is a report Âabout booting test with linux-2.6.33.rc8-rt1 by Thomas.
I also can't boot linux-2.6.33.rc8-rt1 version on my desktop pc like
John Kacur. But, This Error message is different in my case.
So, I returned linux version from this version to linux-2.6.31-rt14 version now.
- version info : Linux-2.6.33.rc8-rt1
- H/W Spec : intel Core2Quad Q9400 , SATA HDD320G

I uploaded screenshot about booting error on my Q9400 based desktop pc.
http://picasaweb.google.com/leemgs/LinuxRelatedScreenshot#5441436536331947314

And, I attached my config file to compile linux-2.6.33.rc8-rt1.

Regards,
Geunsik Lim.
