    I just got it working over the weekend. The machine had an Adaptec 29320
    64-bit PCI card driving a SCSI HD. It was removed, and the drive
    replaced with a Serial ATA drive, and it came up fine.

    There were probably a lot of variables that were changed by removing the
    card, but I'm wondering if anyone has experienced the same symptoms with
    any 64-bit PCI card installed on this board.
