Sorry, I was insufficiently clear on that.
So far I have tried: Disabling all module functions Disabling APIC Recompiling for 386 rather than K7 Disabling all special video options (Framebuf, video mode select)
I have yet to try a completely minimal 386 config, that is my next step, then I start putting printk()'s in to localise the hang more effectively.
