 Modifying the config file, I found that the original reported problem is
 caused
 +by the
 ex ethernet driver. If I comment out the line
      
 device    ex
      
 the kernel will proceed to boot until it prints the message:
      
 isa_compat: didn't get ports for le
      
 at which point it will hang again. Removing the additional line
      
 device     le0    at isa? port 0x300 irq 5 iomem 0xd0000
 
 will allow the boot to complete. Note that I have modified the ed0 to
 use port
 +0x300.
 
 The attached config file shows the maximum configuration that is able to
 boot
 +(with
 both ex and le drivers removed).
 
 Hope this helps to solve the problem.
 
 The more general problem is that the boot configuration editor doesn't
 allow to
 delete devices like the "ex" any more.
     
 Regards,
 Claus.
