It certainly is an IRQ conflict between the 3C905B NIC and the promise
controller. I could install and reboot just fine with the NIC
removed.
I tried setting different IRQs for the NIC (in slot 3) but the BIOS
always put the promise controller on the same IRQ.
More research is required.
I think I'll see if I can borrow a NIC from work, a totally different
brand and see what happens.
