Re: hard lockups

I've experienced several hard freezes on my toshiba satellite 1905-s301 
notebook. With a kernel built May 4 I got many hangups after leaving the 
machine run overnight. The screen auto-blanked before it locked up, so I 
couldn't determine what the cause could have been. I did hava a java app 
running, and that may have been the cause. Since then I've updated to 
5.1 BETA (may 7) and removed atapicam, pass, cd, cbb, cardbus, and 
pccard from the kernel. No problems since, although the hard freeze 
persists when I insert a pc card into the machine when cbb is enabled.
