I have had a similar problem with 2.0.8 when I start X while dip is calling
my ISP -- the loading of X stops and I get bumped out to the login prompt,
however the keyboard is totally dead and I have to shutdown from my dumb
terminal. (The kernel continues working, and I usually let it download my
mail before rebooting).
I couldn't figure out which of the 6 'psaux: controller timeout' printk's
was involved so I numbered them -- the problem went away! (at least for this
morning and yesterday's many "recreation" attempts). It seems like there is
some timing critical thing happening between the serial ports and psaux. My
psaux is built into the kernel so it is not a module problem alone.
