I just compiled 2.0.8 last night on my Gatewat P100 and using the psaux as
a
kerneld loaded module ran just fine. I also have X11 loaded and running
over
night just fine. FYI, this is a RedHat (Caldera) install.

Hi,
linux-2.0.8 seems to break psaux somehow.

A couple of minutes after boot, system just hangs.
Even virtual consoles does not work anymore.
There is only one message in the syslog:
'psaux: controller timeout'

If I let psaux module unloaded, everything works well.

BTW, what possibilities do I have to debug kernel
in this kind of situation ?
