[arch-general] Kernel 3.6.x panic

[Guillermo Leira]

Hello!

I have upgraded a system from Linux 3.5.6 to 3.6.4, and now I get a kernel
panic on boot. It's an i686 system.

I have tried to download to 3.6.3 and 3.6.2, and they also panic.

3.5.6 boots fine, but I had to remove nvidia and virtualbox. Then upgraded
again to 3.6.4, got the kernel panic, and downgraded again (just to discard
nvidia or virtualbox)

I don't know how to solve this. Messages in screen seem to be related to
scsi. I have removed an Adaptec card, but it makes no difference.

I can't get (or can't find) a log, but there are things like:

Oops: 0000 [#2] PREEMPT SMP
Process scsi_eh_2 (pid: 57, ...
A lot of lines with references to libata and pata_acpi.

This is the hardware seen by lspci.

The processor is an old P4 HT. Has been working fine for years, and still
does with the previous kernel.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
