That depends on your particular configuration and OS version.  If you
are running 4.0.3, do you have a 3comm ethernet card?  If you do, replace
it.  It has been out of rev for years and will cause the machine to hang 
waiting for its NFS server.  3.5 also had the NFS problems but it
wasn't deadly, just aggravating.  You also need a jumper on the CPU
board, but you wouldn't get through loading the kernel without it.
