I had a problem that the system hang at booting on 2.5.29 without
my patch. After that, I turned off CONFIGs as much as possible
and then I succeeded to boot the kernel.
I suspect IDE/ATAPI driver or something was causing the problem
(I'm not sure, though.)
Anyway, I'd like to reproduce the problem. Could you send me your
.config?

Regards,
Kimi
