There is a regression in 2.6.25.   Booting stops with: Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) message.

It dont work the kernel boot parameter edd=off .  With pci=off the computer continues to boot, but later it dont find hard disks etc.

Thats happening on 2.6.25   definitive, but was verified to go back until 2.6.24-rc6-git8, but it wasnt yet at 2.6.24-rc6-git2 which worked correctly.
