Did you go into kernel configuration mode at bootup and disable everything
you don't have/need? Someone posted a message a while ago about his CD-ROM
causing it to lock up. Try disabling the IDE controller that the CD-ROM's
attached to (if it's different from your hard drive), and see if it still
hangs.

Also, sending us a copy of the bootup hardware probes would help.
