I have -CURRENT running on a PE1750 without issues. I have a PE1650 that
I'm waiting on rails for and a PE1550 I can temporarily ursurp. Does it
also hang under 5.3-R?

I had some odd problems with a PE2450 that turned out to be a screwed up
fxp pci card. Taking the card out got the machine booting again. Do you
have any cards in this system?
