Ok, that latest test kernel lasted only a short while before it exploded. And this time it really exploded. psmouse went nuts about 5 minutes in, forcing me to remove it. Then the atkbd messages appeared at 970 seconds in. Then the real flood began at about 4500 seconds in and that's when the computer exploded. When they started up again at 4500 seconds, they hit so hard that I had to power-cycle the system. random keypresses were happeneing all over hte place, causing tabs to open in my browser, any text box that got focus would fill with random characters, numlock came on and wouldn't go away, I couldn't even drop to a console. I had to power-cycle the machine :/
So the difference between 3.3.0-030300rc4.201210151833 and 3.3.0-030300rc4.201210092026 is polar opposites. The latest one was incredibly unstable, the previous one lasted for days and days and was nice and stable even though the atkbd messages DID still appear every now and then and psmouse went just nuts early on, as it always does.
