This might just be the one time you NEED a CMOS reset jumper. Before giving up I'd try that.
Jim, Yep. This was the catch of the day. The motherboard manual showed me where the CMOS jumper is located and provided explicit directions: move jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3. Wait 5-10 seconds (I waited 10). Put jumper back on pins 1 and 2. Boot system into the BIOS setup and reset system date/time. Sure enough, after doing that the system _paused_ at the screen where it had stalled then went on to boot. Replacing a dead CMOS battery was a new experience for me so clearing the CMOS real-time clock was required. Nothing other than the date and time were changed in the BIOS settings. Another new experience where I could not use prior knowledge to fix the problem.
