I saw something like this just yesterday on an Intel 440BX system.

If the BIOS was set to "Plug and Play OS: Yes", the kernel hung soon
after entry, but if I set it to "No" it continued, and the first thing
it printed that it hadn't when it was hanging was the detection of the
Ethernet card (I think it was an Etherlink III).

What's the "right" value for that BIOS setting?
