2.4.5+ hangs on boot

Ok, aic7xxx hang solved on one machine with APIC solution
Ok, sched.c hang solved on another machine with patch.

However that patch doesn't solve everything and there are a few other
places where things hang.

*) I20 hangs in the middle of I20 init on -every- system I have from 586
to pIII in recent kernels
*) something hangs just after floppy init, last line is FDC0...

The FDC is immediately prior to where I2O inits so possibly the hang is
actually just following FDC/I2O? Normal boot messages should be like this:

Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077

Any comments or suggestions? 2.4.5-ac19 is the last kernel I have that
works.
