I've found that this also affects 2.6.15-generic and 2.6.17-server.
but when I compiled my own kernel (2.6.20-rc5) using the -386 config, but changing arch and including SMP support (and some minor other options) The computer booted.

Hi Svein,

The 18 month support period for Edgy Eft 6.10 has reached it's end of life. As a result, we are closing the linux-source-2.6.17 Edgy Eft kernel task. However, Hardy Heron 8.04 was recently released. It would be helpful if you could test the new release and verify if this is still an issue - http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download . You should be able to test your bug using the LiveCD. If the issue still exists, please add the Hardy kernel "linux" task to the bug report. This can be done by clicking on the "Also affects distribution" link in the Actions area on left hand side of the bug report. Select "Ubuntu" as the Distribution and type in "linux" for the Source Package Name. Thanks.

Changed in linux-source-2.6.17:
status:	New → Won't Fix
