post config hang

[Ron Riese]

System is:  AMD K6/2 500Mhz  trying to install on 2GB wd 22000 drive.

After configuring kernel, my output (and system) halts after:
pci2: <PCI bus> on pcib1

Possibly un/related: I have 2 unknown cards VIATech w/ device 3040
(power mgmt. controller and Ctreative Technology Ensoniq ES1371.  It is
interesting that the CT (1274) card  and RealTek (10eC) 8139 NIC are on
same IRQ (=9) as ACPI.
Really, I didn't do that!  The bios allows PNP or legacy but legacy is
usless I fear as there are no manual adjustments (jumpers etc) on any of
these pci cards.  Not sure why system did not recognize these as vendor
ID is stipulated:
pcio: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1106, device=0x3040) at 7.3
pcio: <unknown card> (vendor=0x1274, device=0x1371) at 10.0 irq 9

Seems to be picking up other devices ok.

Help or direction appreciated.
