Now, can you go and enable all network cards and insert printk() statement
s to see where exactly it hangs? Then we could fix the real problem.

If you also get the gnumach*dsc file, you can use dpkg-source -x gnumach*dsc

Some other ethernet driver is hanging. In
linux/dev/drivers/net/Space.c
you can add printk's to the autoprobe like this:
#if defined(CONFIG_NE2000)
&& ne_probe(dev)
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_AT1500
&& (printk("X") || 1) && at1500_probe(dev)
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_FMV18X /* Fujitsu FMV-181/182 */
&& (printk("X") || 1) && fmv18x_probe(dev)
#endif
etc.
You only need to put them after NE2000, because this card is recognized.
Then you count the X and know in which autoprobe it hangs. Voila.
Of course, you need to compile with all network cards.

Sorry, but we should try to fix the problem. A work around is useful, but
only as much as it helps to identify the real problem.
Thanks,
