At least on one machine.
1.3.80 and 1.3.81 would not boot for me. When I #if'd out the change in arch/i386/boot/setup.S, things worked as expected.
The "symptom" is that booting hangs before the "Uncompressing Linux..." message is printed, and doesn't do anything for at least a few minutes.
The drives in my system are:
hda: 94354-230, 201MB w/32kB Cache, CHS=848/9/54 hdb: Conner Peripherals 850MB - CFA850A, 813MB w/256kB Cache, LBA, CHS=1652/16/63 ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 hdc: SyQuest EZ135A, 128MB w/64kB Cache, CHS=512/16/32 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 hdb: hdb1 hdb2 hdb3 hdc: hdc1
(And a 5.25 floppy drive)
