I've had a Highpoint Rocket 1540 (not "RocketRAID") SATA controller for
a while now, using a proprietary binary driver from Highpoint in a linux
2.4 kernel.  The chipset is an hpt374.  The hpt366 driver freezes on
boot, as reported by others.

   If possible, turn off that driver, 
then post that output...

This is the output of the boot using the pata_hpt37x driver:

    Hrm... what I asked for was 'lspci -v' output. :-)

hpt37x: DPLL did not stabilize.
pata_hpt37x: BIOS has not set timing clocks.
hpt37x: DPLL did not stabilize.

   Yes, this ia a known issue, and the fix for it is in the -mm tree:
