When I use "linux -p", the boot process seems to begin normally.  The machine
recognizes hardware, performs a parition check, starts IP and USB services but
hangs after the "VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem)." message.  

I also get a few "hda: lost interrupt" and "hdb: lost interrupt" errors during
the boot sequence, mainly around the partition check.  Using the "ide=nodma"
kernel command seems to make these errors worse.
