Initial Boot Hangs - IBM eserver xSeries 300

[suggsjc]

I'm trying to install 6.06 server on an IBM eserver xSeries 300. The initial install goes fine. However, when it tries to boot the first time it hangs when it gets to * Loading hardware drivers.

The last message that it displays before hanging is:
[42949387.730000] agpgart: Detected VIA Apollo Pro 133 chipset

I've tried passing agp=off but that doesn't help either. Any suggestions?

FYI, I was able to install and boot a minimal install of Debain 3.1 and Fedora Core 5 was installed when I received it...so should be solvable.

Thanks for the notification. I've been running debian ever since and am
satisfied right now. I'll look at it again one I purchase my next batch of
servers.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I'm still running Debian with no issues, and until we migrate off of this hardware I'll be unable to test the latest release of Ubuntu on it.
