2.1.xx boot problem

All hail Linux.

All 2.1.xx kernels I've managed to compile hang completely during
bootup, immediately after uncompressing. I added some trace messages to main()
and apparently it hangs with extreme prejudice whenever it tries to parse
the append line:

<taken from /etc/lilo.conf>

# Development kernel
image = /vmlinuz.dev
root = /dev/hda2
label = devlinux
append="hisax=3,2,9"
read-only

</snip>

I need that append line because if I don't, the detection code finds the
ISDN card at irq 15 and interferes with the secondary IDE.

Any suggestions?
