With the cdrom removed I am getting nice clean boot with

ACPI was enabled, but disabling it (recompiling with ACPI disabled)
does not have any effect.

I am still unable to access the disk on IDE1 even with the cdrom
removed on that channel. (though from the dmesg it looks like the
cdrom makes things even worse)

I have also tried Alan's new 2.4.21-pre4-ac2 (btw: extraversion is
still -ac1), with no difference.

I am looking forward to try the patch!

Best regards,
Petr
