I used precompiled ones, some with pgcc, some with egcs.

I spent some time investigating this bug. Here's what I think:
1) this is not pgcc issue
2) this is not original 2.2.9 kernel issue
3) this is not original 2.2.9 kernel with uniform ide patch issue.
4) this is either kernel configuration or some other patch issue.
(may be also egcs bug, but not likely)
Here is log of what I've done:
First I've tried to compile 2.2.5 kernel with pgcc using cflags
from 2.2.9-19mdk. It worked.
Then I tried to compile 2.2.9-19mdk using egcs 1.1.2.
FAILED.
Then I tried to compile 2.2.9-19mdk without pentium optimizations
(i.e. plain -m386 -O2) with pgcc and egcs. FAILED with both.
Then I took original plain 2.2.9 kernel and compiled it with using
cflags from 2.2.9-19mdk. It worked.
I applied uniform ide patch and compiled as before. It worked too.
Then I took my .config from 2.2.9 with uniform ide patch and used
it to compile 2.2.9-19mdk. FAILED again.
Did you manage to find where the problem is?
Konstantin.
ps: I can send my .config file if needed.
