>Environment:
n/a
>Description:
Hangs during boot - immediately after message "probing for devices
on ISA bus".  After machine hung for a while, tried unplugging
keyboard.  Machine then came to life, finished booting.  Plugged
in keyboard, worked OK.  When logging in as root, prompted me
for password (should be another problem report, but I'll include
this anyway).  Machine is 386sx 16.
>How-To-Repeat:
after installing 2.2.1 RELEASE, reboot or reset computer.  My computer
then hangs right after "probing for devices on ISA bus".  It's
a 386sx 16, but I don't think this is the problem.  Maybe a problem
with my keyboard type conflicting with the console or keyboard driver
(even though it's a standard AT keyboard).
>Fix:
Temporary - just unplug keyboard when computer hangs.  Then,
plug back in after booting resumes.  (It won't continue booting
unless keyboard is unplugged).
