Panic on boot on Lenovo ThinkCentre, before copyright message appears

I've been having trouble getting 6.x, 7.x and 8.0 to boot on a Lenovo 
ThinkCentre M-series, model 6081 AG1. The system panics on boot, what 
seems to be as soon as it goes to boot the kernel (it loads the kernel 
and modules like acpi.ko fine)...

System is running the latest BIOS (2KRT50AUS) from 22 July 2008; we have 
successfully booted Windows and Linux on the same system, and it has 
survived several hours of memtest'ing.

The panic (manually transcribed, so I hope I haven't made any typos) as 
seen from the 200807/i386 snapshot CD:


/boot/kernel/acpi.ko text=0x54624 data=0x2640+0x182c 
syms=0x4+0x8b70+0x4+0xbe09]

Is there any additional information I can provide from the DDB prompt 
that may help tracking down why this machine is unable to boot (I have 
included the output from backtrace above, but it does not appear to help 
much...)?

Cheers
Antony
