SubjectShowstoppers? Maybe. [lp/rtl8139/mouse]
Hi all,

In 2.4.0-test{{1,2}{,ac*},3-pre*}, there seem to be some very weird things
happening which kill my machine:

- As soon, as the parallel port module (lp, parport, parport_pc) get loaded,
networking and the mouse and keyboard in X die (checked networking with a
ping from my second machine)

- If I happen to be on a VT, only networking dies -- _until_ I move the mouse,
then the complete system freezes. If I don't move the mouse but remove the
parport modules, networking doesn't get restored.

- The printing seems to be pretty hosed -- it prints a few pages, probably as
much as fits into the printer's RAM (if I don't move the mouse :-) and then
seems to be stuck.

I cannot recall whether that happened with 2.3.99* as well.

Some info which might or might not be relevant:

- PII/350 on a Gigabyte GA6BX/E board
- (sucky) Nvidia Riva128
- X running on VT7 (XF86_SVGA-3.3.6)
- gpm running on the console
- Logitech Mouseman Wheel PS/2, running with IMPS/2 protocol
- (old) RealTek RTL8139 NIC, shares IRQ with ES1370 sound card
- parport claims to use IRQ7 which is unused otherwise

Any additional info available on request.
