Kernel freeze on boot (.123-.125) in IDE init

I'm currently running 2.1.113, and trying the newest ones. However,
since 2.1.123, it's been freezing during the IDE Partition check.
I've tried a minimal config, w/o scsi sound or anything extraneous
and monolithic. I also have tried 2.1.126-pre2 and 2.1.126-pre2ac1,
with the same results.

Machine:
430HX w/Petium 225MMX
using Promise Ultra/33 PCI controller for ide2/3

It freezes after displaying 'hda:' in the partition check.

Here's the pertinent part of dmesg and /proc/pci from under 2.1.113
