Sounds like hardware conflicts. If you take the soundblaster card out and
Linux boots to completion this would indicate one of the participants.
Do both machines have ethernet cards? If so, check the irq jumpers on the
cards. Either irq or base addresses are the same as those used by the
soundblaster, yielding conflict.
