I tried sched-O1-2.4.18-pre8-K3 and it didn't work with a SMP kernel
either.

Furthermore it also doesn't work with a UP kernel with Local IO APIC support
(CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC). Without it does work. It reliably hangs in
arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c:check_timer (in 2.4.18-pre8-K3 about line 1510)

        printk(KERN_INFO "..TIMER: vector=0x%02X pin1=%d pin2=%d\n", vector, pin1, pin2);

        if (pin1 != -1) {
                /*
                 * Ok, does IRQ0 through the IOAPIC work?
                 */
          printk(KERN_ERR "1\n");
                unmask_IO_APIC_irq(0);
          printk(KERN_ERR "2\n");
                if (timer_irq_works()) {

The "1" still occurs, then it hangs...
