Now I discovered, that it is no system hang, it yust pause for 30s, and
I was to impatient to wait wich leads to this bug-report. some examples
for positions where the system pause:

SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
hdb ATAPI 52 X DVD-ROM drive, 256kb Cache, UDMA(33)
sd 0:0:0:0: atached scsi disk sda

then pause for 30s and then continue with

Attempting manual resume ...

then it stops allways at

Compaq touchscreen protocol output

for additional 30s

another example:

SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
sda: sda1 sda2 sda3
sd 0:0:0:0: atached scsi disk sda
hdb ATAPI 52 X DVD-ROM drive, 256kb Cache, UDMA(33)

then pause for 30s and then continue with

Attempting manual resume ...

But everything was working now with the exception of taking a lot of
time to boot, so I removed the 3c905 NIC.

The result was that everything was working perfekt after the removal of
the additional NIC. No pause during boot anymore. For me this Problem is
solved now.

best regards,

Hubert
