Okay, I applied hotfixes and it crashed on boot, keyboard LEDs flashing:

Repeating message, hand copied:
atkbd.c: Spurious ACK in isa0060/serio0. Some program might be trying access
hardware directly.

Thing is, I've been getting this similar message once in dmesg for ages:

This is MSI KM4M-V <http://tinyurl.com/64cfd> AMD Sempron SktA 32-bit CPU, I
don't see the error on Intel CPU boxen, nor on an AMD K6-2/500 CPU (2.6.15.6)
