non-SMP IDE broken?

With kernels 2.1.123 and 2.1.122 (and maybe others) when I
compile non-SMP, booting hangs at the IDE detection. It works
when built SMP.

Does anybody else get this?

More precisely, a 2.1.12x kernel built with: 

on/with a K6-2/300 in a Chembook/Mitac 3300T (like Umax, etc.) laptop using gcc-2.7 (debian slink) using Intel UDMA and Toshiba disk via "make distclean; vi Makefile; make menuconfig; make dep; make clean; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install; etc." (Yes, "SMP = " is commented out of the Makefile, not just set to 0.)

hangs during boot after: .. PIIX4: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 09 PIIX4: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0x1100-0x1107, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio ide1: BM-DMA at 0x1108-0x110f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio hda: TOSHIBA MK4309MAT, ATA DISK drive hdc: UJDA150, ATAPI CDROM drive ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14 ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15 hda: TOSHIBA MK4309MAT, 4126MB w/0kB Cache, CHS=559/240/63, UDMA and before hdc: ATAPI 24X CDROM drive, 128kB Cache

(Turning off ATAPI etc support, it hangs before the hda: line instead.) It all seems to work fine when built SMP.

Is broken non-SMP IDE a common experience that I don't know about because I only skim the list, or is this something that has not been reported? Does anybody else build the 2.1 kernels non-SMP?
