Is it hanging in the BIOS or at the start of booting Linux. If it is in
the BIOS then check the "Halt on:" settings. If it is in the start of
Linux then is it an early kernel. I did find a similar problem in a
2.0.X kernel with no keyboard, where it got past the BIOS but wouldn't
start booting Linux after the LILO prompt.
