Yep - if you try no-hlt on the lilo line how far does your machine get?
Mine gets to klogd and stops (but scrollback still works) or actually
boots if I do not run klogd.

Has anyone had this lock-up on any other motherboard ? So far I have
collected three instances involving Intel DK440LX. Plus I have submitted a
bug report to Novell for Netware 5.0 about DK440LX SMP crashing. If you
have had this lockup could you respond to me so I can put together a
statistic report. Thanks!

2.1.109 is the last one that works here. 2.1.110 was the first to lockup.

I ended up disabling all the extra drivers to get the messages to fit into
scrollback....
