Turn off floppy in bios?

Tried that - and also several BIOS options for so called "Plug&Play" OSes - still the same problem. :(

Same result with "nodma"

Add "debug" to the line, and see if the kernel messages give a clue. You can scroll with shift-pgUp

Added "debug". Machine still freezes at the same point.  
Cannot scroll up then (looks like everything is locked up). :(
