Comments/Problems:
Works fine until the ide-detect module is loaded. At that point the system
hangs.
Starting installation with DEBCONF_DEBUG=5, then switching to console 3 shows
the last command as "insmod adma100"
This system has never been particularly happy with the 2.4.x kernels in
Debian. It boots fine off 2.2 kernels. Manually upgrading the
2.4.24-1-generic seems to work until either of the de4x5 or tulip network
drivers are installed and the network is brought up. Tulip will hang the
system, de4x5 times out dhclient.
