     The only major difference this time is that it's also detecting the 
additional drives that are on the add-on card.  Previously it wasn't, 
but now I can see them after it says 'waiting for hardware to 
initialize...'.  It's going through ata1.00, ata1.01, ata3.00, and 
ata3.01 - which accounts for the four hard drives, and then it lists the 
CD-ROM.  But it still dies at the same exact spot after detecting the 
CD-ROM ...

     For the record, I previously tried without the add-on card plugged 
in and it too went nowhere.  So there is something either with the 
CD-ROM or just after it that causing it to hang.  And when I say hang, 
I'm talking complete lock up.  NUM key doesn't do anything, the machine 
is a brick.  Only recovery is to hold the power button till it shuts off.

     By the way, when booting CentOS, it also displays that 'waiting for 
hardware to initialize...' however it sits there for a mere 5 seconds 
then moves on and boots normally.
