I find that booting in config mode, and disabling all non-existent
devices, most usually ethernet cards fixes the problem.

I'm using DEC HX6000's and ZX6000's.

Never figured out what it was.  Started after 2.2.2, but I rarely install
anymore, only upgrade, so never dug into it.

Also, make sure you're running the latest BIOS from Digital.
