SubjectRe: Hard locks in 2.1.123
It definitly locks hard. I have tried it a number of times, and one time
recompiled the kernel and rebooted while I was sleeping, and 8 hours later
it was still locked in the same spot.

I was able to get it up by moving PS/2 mouse support into the kernel
instead of having it as a module. Yet that makes no sense to me.
