In grub, under kernel options, try

ro root=LABEL=/ apm=off noapic rhgb quiet

That fixed it for me on kernel 2.6.9-22.ELsmp running CentOS 4.2.

There's lots of flags available for boot up options. Mine died much 
earlier in the boot.. just after expanding kernel or some such. If you 
do think it is traffic, you could unplug the network cable to see if it 
is external.

Good luck!
