Just moments ago, I figured out the problem.

I had to enable "PnP OS Installed" in the BIOS.  Otherwise, it hangs
on the outsw().
This behavior seems rather odd.

What harm could a rep/store do?  Could it be an I/O recovery time issue?
There is no "I/O recovery time" settings in this Phoenix BIOS.


Thanks for the fast reply!


BTW: This machine had similar problems with the ze driver.  There is a while
loop that goes for up to 5000 times, a "while (blah && --n)", that hangs the
system in the same way.
