	I am in the console group and I just asked around. This problem has been seen from time to time. The problem is under investigation. It is suspected to be a timing related intermittant. So make several attempts and potentially it could get past the hang on one of the attempts at booting.

	Yes, this problem was first reported on a 350MHz CPU module. We have not heard of any problems with the 300MHz or 440MHz, until now. Like Dennis said, this problem is under investigation.
