Good News: I reproduced this and fixed it.
But I don't know exactly what I did that fixed it. :^(
(drawbacks of the shotgun approach).
Fairly small patch is on ftp.parisc-linux.org/patches/diff-2.4.20-timer
This isn't ready to commit until someone narrows it down to one thing.

Bad News: SMP kernel now hangs during SCSI device discover.
I haven't tried CONFIG_SMP=n yet and I guess that would be a next step.
Console output of the a500-44 boot with 2.4.20-pa14 + patch is on
