yep i have an 600E 350Mhz, 128m or RAM. The same thing happens as it hits 'Probing devices' The machine just hangs and becomes totally un-responsive. Heck can't even turn the machine off by hitting the power off button, have to take out the Battery, have tried this with 2.2.8-REL, 3.1-REL et cetera.
