Description of problem:
Booting from the CD, the kernel hangs (keyboard unresponsive to CTRL-ALT-DEL)
after the following message is displayed:

ENABLING IO-API IRQs
Setting 2 in the phys_id_present_map
...changing IO-APIC physical API ID to 2... ok.
...TIMER: vector=0x31 pin1=2 pin2=0


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.4.18-14

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert CDROM (Psyche ISO disc 1)
2. Cold boot / reboot box
3. At boot prompt, hit return or enter "linux noprobe"


Actual Results:  Kernel messages scroll by.  Waited 10 minutes with no change in
status.  Keyboard was unresponsive to CTRL-ALT-DEL.  Similarly, the Shift Lock
and Num Lock keys didn't toggle the LEDs.


Expected Results:  Expected to get the install GUI so I could upgrade the box to
RH8.  The CD was media checked and used successfully to upgrade my other box to
RH8 ("olympus" - an Athlon uniprocessor box).


Additional info:

This box boots fine with the Red Hat 7.1 linux-up kernel.  Feel free to refer to
my hardware configuration in my list of RHN subscribed systems for more info
("gemini" -- an ASUS CUV4X-D motherboard, dual Pentium III (1.0 GHz), with 1 GB
of RAM).
