Sorry about not getting back on this. I've had no opportunity to spend
time on this until recently. I removed a SCSI card and an audio card
but that didn't help. Then I updated everything (kernel, bootblocks,
MBR, etc) to modern stuff and now it works (even with the cards put
back in). No idea what fixed it, but yet not entirely unhappy.

Thanks,

Johan
