    In this case, it is.

    I am using BootMagic to select the partition when the system first
comes up.

    I have been sick the last few days, so my brain isn't working as
well as it might.  It occurs to me to boot without this or that driver
in the configuration to see if that makes a difference.  When I get to
feeling better and get back to the problem, I will try that strategy as
well.

    (Thanks for responding, but it wasn't really necessary to quote the
entire 14KB post back to us.  We read it all the first time.)
