Do you have a USB Mouse and USB keyboard attached?  One thing I have 
found is that if I have both attached directly via the 2 built in ports 
of my T42 it will stop the boot process at a certain point and I have to 
unplug one or the other.  I can then plug it in again and it will work 
fine after the boot proceeds.  If I plug a hub into the mix I know 
longer have the problem. Haven't had a chance to check this yet on the 
T61, need to reinstall eCS again on it as I messed the system up when I 
was testing kernel changes for use with /APIC.
