Kernel is compiled with gcc 2.7.2.3 under Red Hat 5.0 with SMP not set and
CFLAGS_NSR not used (as for the working 2.1.86, 2.1.88, 2.1.89, 2.1.90-pre1
and many previous kernels). I compiled the 2.1.90-pre2/3 kernels at least
3 separate times with slightly different configurations, all with the same
result.
>From the 2.1.89 boot sequence, with the same configuration as the pre3
failure:

The system is a Pentium 166/83 with 32 MB EDO RAM and a 430HX chipset on a
1-year-old ASUS motherboard. It has an ESS1688 ISA PnP sound card, SVEC
21140 and PCI NE2000 clone Ethernet, and an STB S3 ViRGE video card. Yes,
it's a bit overclocked, but it runs cool and its stability is extremely
well tested under many different kernels.
Were there any changes to APM or parallel port stuff between the pre1 and
pre2 patches, or weird compiler directives or CPU initialization? And is
anyone else seeing UP hangs of this kernel? If not I'll try to pin this
down a bit further.
