I had the same problem compiling 2.4.20 until I used gcc3.2.
Amusingly enough I was unable to build a 2.4.21 kernel that didn't
hang during IDE initilization until i reverted to using gcc 2.95.4.
2.4.20 built and worked fine for me with gcc 3.2.
One sad regression between 2.4.20 -> 2.4.21 is that the IDE subsystem
no longer seems to work when built as modules (lots of depmod unmet
dependancy errors). At least that's the case for my PC164LX with
the onboard CMD IDE controller. (its not that important; but with ide
modules i could unmount that drive, unload the modules and take the disk
out of its removable drive sled, put a new one in, reload the modules
and remount and be off and running without a reboot.)
