It may be hardware. This is a Thinkpad T23, and it has been to IBM
repair 5 times over a 2 month period of time. They replaced the internal psu
once, the motherboard 3 times, the wifi card once, and the CPU once. They
still can't seem to figure out why it just randomly locks up without any
seeming motive. I can get it to happen quite often with any kernel other
than 2.4.21 using any USB device. The only piece they haven't replaced is
the "black" on the case at this point. =)
Something odd too, is that I can't warm reboot from 2.4 to 2.4
without it hanging at the point where the kernel inits the usb host
controller at boot time. I have to power it off, let the drive spin down,
and the start it up again to get it beyond this problem.
I can warm boot from 2.4 to 2.6 without this problem, however, but
booting from 2.6 back to 2.4 causes it to happen again. Very fishy, and
definately usb-related. I've tried every firmware version available for this
board, and this is the second type of motherboard I've had installed in it,
over the 3 replacements they did.
Looooooooooooooooovely, isn't it?
