Ok, I got me another box, and kfir worked. But: for some
other reason I put a new kernel on that system and the kfir
driver crashed while loading, again ! Both kernels where 2.4.0,
but differently configured.

Conclusion: the problem depends on kernel config.
I will keep both configurations so someone can try to find
what makes the difference. For now, I don't have the time
to do so, sorry.
I attach a "diff linux-kfirhangs/.config linux-kfir-ok/.config" below.
