Does the timeout messages start arriving right after the kernel
enables interrupts? (i.e. right after it prints something like
"biomask 4840 netmask 200 ttymask 1a"). If so, the above behavior is
very consistent with a mismatch between the IRQ configured into the
kernel and what is actually being used on the motherboard. I suggest
that you either reconfigure your hardware (jumpers and/or BIOS
settings) if possible, or build a new kernel with the proper
interrupts configured.
