That didn't change anything.
The line came up reading "harddisk vga=0x317".
I tested removing the vga option completely, leaving only "harddisk",
as well as changing it to "vga=normal".
In either case, the machine switched off the video output and hung as described
in the initial report.
Additional observations:
- There seems to be a short delay (about half a second) after hitting enter
during which the screen is black but active, then a short flicker, and only
then does the video signal go away and the machine hang.
- Once it's hung, the NumLock key doesn't even toggle the keyboard NumLock LED
anymore.
- The power button however still reacts immediately, without the usual eight
second delay after hard OS crashes.
- I managed to reach the same state once by hitting Ctrl/Alt/Del just before
the initial "Welcome" screen would have appeared.
Perhaps a BIOS problem? Its an AMI BIOS, A6232SMS V1.1 060702
