Have you tried anything in between pre10-ac3 and

fine. I probably should post to the lkml with as much detail as we can
get (unless some kernel hacker is actually reading these messages).
I've tried every kernel from 2.4.20-pre5 up to 2.4.20-pre10, and again
2.4.20-pre10-ac3, which caused a lockup on my system in the past, this
afternoon. And I couldn't reproduce even _one_ lockup. I use another IDE
interface though: a cmd649 add-on controller. The lockups happened with
the onboard IDE interface (VIA KT333 chipset, vt8235 southbridge).
For now I'm too lazy to open the computer case and try with the VIA
interface to be sure, but... I can't think of another change to my
system, so maybe that's the reason for the lockups. What IDE interface
do you have?
I tried 2.4.20rc1 on a laptop and lspci says:
IDE interface Intel Corp. 82801CA< IDE U100 (rev 02)
and on an hp desktop (old...):
IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371AB PIIX4 IDE (rev 01)
I'll try again latter on different machines...
