Plug'nPray?

I'm experiencing similar behaviour on my machine at work.  It simply
can't auto-boot.  It passes all POST tests, and then hangs with a
message ``Initializing Plug and Play cards''.  It's an Elite
mainboard, in newer BIOSes of these boards, the Plague&Pray test can
be disabled, and everything works fine.  (Argl!)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
