SB1250 locking up in init on current 2.6.16 kernel

Hi, I've been trying to upgrade from 2.6.16.18 to 2.6.16.60, but am seeing a hard lockup right before "INIT: version 2.78 booting" on my SB1250-based board. I found a related discussion on the Debian mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.debian.bugs.dist/browse_thread/thread/b7159ee25106c7f9 However, after applying Thiemo's patch to mark pages tainted by PIO IDE as dirty, the lockup still occurs. I narrowed the file changes to arch/mips/mm/c-sb1.c arch/mips/mm/cache.c arch/mips/mm/init.c include/asm-mips/cache-flush.h include/asm-mips/page.h between 2.6.16.27 and 2.6.16.29. There was no 2.6.16.28 tarball posted on linux-mips.org, so I basically brought .27 to .29 until I found the offending files. Is anyone running a 2.6.16 kernel (after 2.6.16.27) on a SB1250-based board?
