problem with booting SMP linux kernel

[Gin]

The system failed when booting SMP linux kernel. It complains the IDE
lost interrupt. Things were working fine with the non-SMP linux kernel.
Has anyone seen it before?

Note that the SMP kernel image was stored in the IDE hard disk. So BIOS
was able to load the kernel to be executed. After Linux kernel took
control, somehow the interrupts was messed up. Here are the last few
messages over the console.
