I have a host which will only boot with the patched SUSE kernel, a vanilla kernel using the SUSE .config results in a kernel panic. Is there a way of stripping out the SUSE patches individually, so I can find out which patch is responsible for the machine booting.

Which kernel? 2.6.9 is up running here on 9.1 x86 and x86_64. You could try acpi=off, apm=off, pci=noacpi, lnoapic as boot options. I thought of mkinitrd, but that is likely to cause a different problem, like modules not loaded. If you have another box handy + serial port, crossover cable and kermit/gtkterm/cutecom or hyperterminal on windows, you can capture the full panic with boot option "console=ttyS?" and mail it to the kernel mailing list.
