2.3.49pre2, keyboard lockup /w mouse, yenta

Still confused on this. As long as the cdrom in the versa sx is not
installed (I don't have any ide devices other than a cdrom to install in the
slot to see if it's just a cdrom or just the 2nd ide channel) the system
works w/o problems, no keyboard/mouse lockups. If the cdrom is installed,
it does lockup. (maybe init yenta before ide?)

I have completely disabled yenta_init which simply prints "yenta_init()
bypassed". I goofed when I put the priority before it which was a good
goof.

After the system comes up, I login. I can leave it idle or do things and I
get this from syslog: (This is every time)

Message from syslogd@krillin at Wed Mar 1 21:14:54 2000 ...
krillin kernel: yenta_init() bypassed

This is where I goofed in the priority, but then again, why is yenta_init
called when the system is idle?

Any idea's why mouse activity will lock the mouse/keyboard if both
1) yenta is compiled in
2) the cdrom (ide1/hdc) is installed

I don't believe re-enabling yenta_init() will change a thing, but I'll try
it.
