Tried installing rawhide 20010320 on new Dell Latitude c600 notebook. Freeze when /sbin/loader starts. SysRq also does not respond; hitting power button does turn notebook off. After further investigation, I discovered it only happens under certain circumstances.... If I boot the machine (into Windoze or Linux off 20010320 netboot floppy), and for example, obtain a DHCP lease, then warm boot the machine, /sbin/loader will freeze. The freeze only occurs when there is "activity" on the in-built 3Com network, followed by a warm boot. The c600 notebook has a "3Com 3CN3ACx556 LAN/modem" installed. lspci -v is attached.

Is 'PnP OS' (or something similar) set in the BIOS?
BTW, if I do DHCP with my bootnet image, then restart and load the already existing Linux installation, it freezes at USB.... I can't find any such option in the BIOS otherwise I would have probably already tried this. :-(
