Even though it looks like that is where the freeze occurs, it is actually the Firewire (1384) support that causes the freeze. After systematically disabling every other option in the BIOS, I found that this is the only thing that prevents the system from booting, and in fact full DMA/ATA100 support works fine. This solves our immediate problem, although we eventually would like to use the firewire port on these systems. So far, there is absolutely no error output, even in verbose mode, that mentions the IEEE 1384 device when it is enabled. Other than this, we are extremely happy with the performance and stability of 5.3 so far. (sorry for the email bounce... corrected as rmorris@mos.us.)
