I had a similar experience with a hang in the middle of boot with those two kernels. As somebody had mentioned problems with CMD640 I tried to compile a new kernel with the same options I always use, but without CMD640 support, even though /proc/pci tells me I have a buggy version of it:
PCI devices found: Bus 0, device 11, function 0: IDE interface: CMD 640 (buggy) (rev 2). Medium devsel. IRQ 14. Bus 0, device 9, function 0: VGA compatible device: S3 Inc. Vision 864-P (rev 0). Medium devsel. Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0x78000000. Bus 0, device 5, function 0: Non-VGA device: Intel 82430ZX Aries (rev 2). Medium devsel. Master Capable. No bursts.
This by the way triggers a question from me. The third device 5 apparently is an Intel 82430ZX Aries and I have no idea of what that is? Could somebody that just happens to know tell me, please? In the /dev directory there are two devices with major 11, i.e. /dev/scd0 and /dev/scd1, which I don't know about and all the major 5 devices are the /dev/cua* devices.
As far as I can see, my system hasn't had any problems with not having the CMD640 support compiled in (12 hours).
FWIWW,
Peter -- main(){char*s="O_>>^PQAHBbPQAHBbPOOH^^PAAHBJPAAHBbPA_H>BB";int i,j,k,l,m,n; for(j=0;j<7;j++)for(l=0;m=l-6+j,i=m/6,n=j*6+i,k=1<<m%6,l<41-j;l++) putchar(l<6-j?' ':l==40-j?'\n':k&&s[n]&k?'*':' ');}
