I've had problems with my system hanging on recent kernels, only when the
driver was installed, only when using my Buslogic 445C very actively.
Usually doing writes. Since I run X all the time, I don't, of course, have
any kernel panic messages to convey. But if we're having interrupt latency
problems, this might be a good opportunity to try to resolve some of these
issues in an extreme-case test environment.
