OOops - it turns out I also changed CONFIG_SBPCD=y to CONFIG_SBPCD=m and I had an append="sbpcd=0x630" in my /etc/lilo.conf -- the sbpcd driver now requires two paremeters and the kernel will hang during boot if it does not get them, recompiling sbpcd into the kernel and changing my /etc/lilo.conf to append="sbpcd=0x630,0" made everything work. My apologies if anyone wasted any time on my faulty recollection.
If we are not to make the kernel (or sbpcd) more forgiving about outdated append lines, would it not be wise to mention this in Documentation/Changes?
Anyway it works great, now to go back and put all the config choices the way I wanted them :-).
