I am not sure what else there is to post.  The machine gets to the point 
where
it says something like "Probing devices - this may take a while", and then
nothing else happens.  I read the 5.1 errata, and tried switching from APIC
to PIC, and disabling the on-board sound card, but this made no difference.

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the dmesg output, using 4.7:
