2.1.93 reboots before the kernel prints a single line
of output that I can see. Booting after passing the kernel
argument "pci=off" results in exactly the same behavior. In fact,
putting an infinite loop at the beginning of parse_arguments in
init/main.c results in the same behavior, so the kernel is
crashing before it even starts parsing its own arguments.

I have tried this with a couple of different sets of
configurations options.

Yes, I am using a uniprocessor PCI machine. The output of
lspci on this machine is:

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX - 82443LX PAC Host (rev 03)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 440LX - 82443LX PAC AGP (rev 03)

00:0e.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ViRGE/VX (rev 02)
00:10.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 22)

Anyhow, I hope this helps.
