That's a very strange problem with Intel DQ965GF board (also detected with 945 
boards) - when I enable Serial Port  in BIOS on this board and install FDD, 
system does not boot - when it try to detect FDD at kernel loading process, 
it tried to do something with FDD and loops here endlessly. When I disable 
Serial Port in BIOS - all OK.

What can I do, when I need Serial Port and FDD simultaneously? This board has 
only one port, and settings for this port (io, irq) cannot be changed - this 
is an Intel "fool-protected" BIOS :->>>
