Again, I am getting a complete hard lock on bootup with 123. My system is
built with all well known components.

Hardware configuration :

Dual Pentium Pro 200 w/ 512 k cache.
* Intel 82441FX Chipset.
* 320 MB EDO ECC RAM.
* 2 serial ports.
* 1 parallel port.
* 1 PS/2 port.
* 2 USB ports.
* Adaptec AIC-7880

* 0 scsi devices.

Intel 82371SB PIIX3 IDE controller.
* 9.1 GB Seagate UDMA HD.
* 8X ATAPI CD-ROM.
* 8X ATAPI CD-ROM.

Matrox Millinium II w/ 8 MB VRAM.

Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100.

Crystal 4232 PCI soundcard.

I have tried with and without DMA enabled. The kernel locks right before
initializing the IDE controllers.

Under 2.1.122 I got this :

Real Time Clock Driver v1.09
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39
PIIX3: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xffa0-0xffa7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA

Yet now it locks after the RTC.

I have MTRR enabled due to my large quantity of RAM. My system never had a
problem before 119. 120 caused some problems, but a patch Linus
distributed helped me.

Any suggestions? I hear talk of the kernel being almost completed and
cring at the thought of my inability to run it.
