sorry the harddrive issue was acctualy unrelated... before the HD was fine being referred to as /dev/sdb1 but with this kernel it has decided it wants to be /dev/hdg1. probally a reason but I don't know it. maybe it's related I don't know.
anyway I guess I'll post my boot log with irqpoll enabled (boots successfully that way).
