 I cc'd David and Joerg and Manuel because of thread at
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/05/14/msg006381.html
 
 After many tests, I found if I reverted src/sys/arch/x86/x86/intr.c back 
 to 1.49 I can boot again.
 
 I have not tried Joerg's suggestions in 
 http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/05/15/msg006390.html yet
 
 I also haven't looked in the BIOS settings (if that is what David was 
 talking about).
 
 The booted kernel is at
 http://reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-nb73459yt/dmesg.boot.new
 
 Running ident on the kernel is at
 http://www.reedmedia.net/~reed/tmp-nb73459yt/ident

 /netbsd.20080510        booted, but ral0 didn't work:

 /netbsd.20080513        booted 4.99.62
 /netbsd.200805132230b   booted! this is same kernel as below after: 
                         cvs up -dP -r 1.49 arch/x86/x86/intr.c
 /netbsd.200805132230    did not boot, so something broken between
                        20080513050000 UTC and 20080513223000 UTC  
 /netbsd.20080514        did not boot

 /netbsd.20080804        did not boot (don't have anymore)
 /netbsd.20080805        did not boot
 
 That sure took a long time to test all these!
