  This is part of the more recent style of dealing with PnP.  If you
get a hang here it means that PnP is in a muddle.  Best usualy is to
pull all cards execept the video and add them one by one.  But as you
have fixed the problem don't bother!

  The hang is usualy caused by adding a card whose requirements cause
hysterics in the PnP system on the motherboard.

   Regards,
        Harry.
