I had a problem like this too, turns out the probing for available IO space that PCMCIA did was hanging this particular laptop hard. The solution was to turn off all the resource probing. But of course I couldn't find any way to do this in RedHat's install so I installed slackware, which had the same problem but at least I could hack the boot disk and fix it. I think I still have a copy of the config somewhere... But the latest PCMCIA doesn't seem to have this problem anymore anyway, at least on this laptop...
