I looked for hours for a BIOS update.  Didn't think of looking on the
Taiwanese language pages--only looked at English where the product isn't
even listed any more.   Thanks for the link. Am updated  to BIOS 1010
now.

Updated BIOS.  Sometimes I can now push ESC and see the messages
scrolling by up to about [2.5xxxxx] where the system hangs following
several traces.  Still works fine with 3.2.0-90 or lower; but not with
-91 or higher.  Tried BIOS 1011 beta just for kicks; no luck there
either.

dmidecode follows:

root@harp:/etc#  sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
ASUS P4T533-C ACPI BIOS Revision 1010
02/27/2003
root@harp:/etc# 

Would attach kernel messages, but don't know how to capture them since
system never gets disks mounted on later kernel versions.
