Re: [proaudio] 2.6.17-rt8 kernel does not boot

[Mark Tombs <mark.tombs@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, its only the -rt kernels.  Gentoo sources, vanilla sources, suspend2 
sources all boot fine.  I've been running linux on this laptop ever since I 
got it (2 years) so its definitely something to do with the -rt patches. 

Heres the output from lspci:
