Hangs on Boot on 2.6.17-1.2174 and ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard

[Khoa Ton]

Thanks for the corrections, Bob.

Yes, the kernel is 2.6.17-1.2174.  Here are the last lines on the
console at the hang (typed in manually):

Total HugeTLB memory allocated, 0
VFS: Disk quotas dquot_6.5.1
Dquot-cache hash table entries: 512 (order 0, 4096 bytes)
SELinux:  Registering netfilter hooks
Initializing Cryptographic API
Loading keyring
- Added public key D4AD441F6DB3F282
- User ID: Red Hat, Inc. (Kernel Module GPG key)
io scheduler noop registered
io scheduler anticipatory registered
io scheduler deadline registered
io scheduler cfq registered (default)
_

The last "_" represents the blinking cursor

Any pointers as to where to check for error messages next would be
greatly appreciated.
