Nope. I waited about 15 minutes for something to show.

I have no qualms about opening the box, I just wouldn't know what to look for.
I noted ALi M5235 PAI 980
75ccktt
because it's close to my parallel port and
WINBOND W83877F WINBOND W25P022AF6
708AC265117302 and 721AB2712575031E
because my isa io card has winbond stuff on it so I thought it might be
relevant. The board is a M-Tech R534F, if that helps
I started over. Got ppb970923.tgz, unzipped and followed installation
instructions. Recompiled my kernel with 0x1 flag. Still hangs with fdisk or
mount.
Here are parts of my latest kernel file and dmesg. I really appreciate your
attention to this problem.
