2.4.0-test10 does not boot

[Klaus Dittrich]

[1.] Kernel 2.4.0-test10 does not boot
[2.] I installed  2.4.0-test10 in the same manner and on the same disk
I did with 2.4.0-test8 which boots an runs.
I use an ASUS-P2B-DS with 2xPII-350 and BIOS 1013BETA005.
After rebooting the last message is "Uncompressing the kernel .." and
then the system hangs. 
I have read that using dma by default made trouble so I made a new 
kernel without this feature but with the same bad result.

[3.] Kernel  2.4.0-test10

Something makes me think that this message is not about the fact that 
the linux kernel found 4 logical CPUs, but that it stopped after the 
message was shown :)
**
A .config would be nice, maybe a bit more information about your system?

So it is. Here is .config.
I suspect it has to do with "*Fix timer SMP bootup race 
".
*kernel-2.6.11-rc1-bk with the same .config works fine.
