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: 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: on ppbus0 lpt0: on ppbus0 lpt0: Interrupt-driven port ppi0: 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.
