The scsi controller was probably the cause of the lock with the other
kernel. Many of the boot kernels have various scsi drivers built into
them, this can lead to a lock up if the wrong driver attempts to activate.

These messages probably look something like this:
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
If so, you can ignore them.
So, you've got everything working now (with a 2.4.18 kernel) except the
NIC?

The above card uses ne2k-pci module.
