Here's another suggestion:  go into the BIOS screen and disable *everything*
on the motherboard that isn't needed to boot up.  Look for USB, graphics,
network, RAID, anything else that can be disabled.

For example, I discovered that the USB device on my old Compaq causes a Linux
lockup, and on another PC I discovered that the display adapter caused it if I
enabled anything other than VGA mode.
