Then it can't be isapnptools causing this problem because the rc.sysinit
first checks:

1) is there an executable /sbin/isapnp and is there a file named
/etc/isapnp.conf and there cannot be a file named /proc/isapnp.
2) Is there not a "nopnp" passed from the lilo command prompt (or append)?
3) If both of those pass, then it runs '/sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf'

That's it.  So check to see if you have that binary. Check to see if you
have that config file.  Check to see if /proc/isapnp exists on your
system.  Try passing "nopnp" at the commandline.

I've half a mind that what's hanging is not isapnp but what comes
immediately afterward, which is remounting the root fs rw.

Maybe gc has more to input on this.
