re: 2.2.x SMP hang right after "OK, booting the kernel

Upgrade LILO to lilo-21, read the docs, and compile with
-DLARGE_EBDA

Some of these SMP machines use larger than normal extended bios
data areas.

The box here that had the problem was a "Digital Server 1000"

Thanks to the people who pointed this one out to me.

Incidentally, you can also bypass the problem using "initrd",
man mkinitrd for details.
