Thanks for the quick reply!

We are experiencing the lockup problem on a machine with a board using
the Intel LX chipset, and turning off the USB support in the BIOS
doesn't change anything. We quickly tried on a different machine (that
also uses the LX chipset -- it was a spare machine that could be tested
quickly), and had identical results (i.e. it also locks up).

We'll try a machine with a different chipset (probably I can test it on
one with the BX chipset) and will tell you the results.
