Seems that 2.1.98 hangs for a lot of people. But maybe the problem is with
the floppy driver ? I use a versioned kernel with no floppy driver built-in,
and 2.1.98 appears quite OK here.
My NCR810 SCSI controller and SCSI harddisk are also running fine.
Could someone who has experienced the lockups try booting a kernel without the
floppy driver ?
