If it hangs _after_ detecting the parallel port, then the
parallel port doesn't cause the problem, obviously, _but_
the devices which comes next.
You could make a verbose boot ("boot -v" at the boot loader
prompt). It might display what the kernel is trying to do
when it hangs.
On my machine (not a GENERIC kernel), the next things are
plip0, lpt0, ppi, dummynet and ipfw2, like this:
ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 flags 0xc on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP) in ECP+EPP mode (EPP 1.9)
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/8 bytes threshold
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
DUMMYNET initialized (011031)
But that might be completely different on your box, with
your kernel. BTW, a friend of mine also has an P2B-DS with
two Pentium-II-400 on it, and it seems to work fine, so
it's not a general problem with that board.
