Lockups with 120.

I have been running the development kernel succesfully for 3 months now on
my dual PPro. Upgrading to 120 causes my machine to hard lock on bootup
with this remaining on the screen :

PIIX3: not 100% native mode : will probe irqs later
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f,

My motherboard supports IO-APIC and has not had any previous problems
running SMP.

I have read numerous reports of DMA problems, however I have not had a
single problem before 120.

The two devices on ide1 are 8X ATAPI CD-ROMs.

Just curious if there has been any changes (PCI/IDE/?) between 119-120
that would warrent such a lockup, or any tips to help me diagnose as to
why 120 locks when 119 and below ran beautifully.

Thanks in advance.
