Well unfortunately, even with out the little modification,
bk-current now locks right after printing out the hdd
geometry/partition info. Apparently, something in the slew
of patches which went in today has broke my setup.
Unfortunately, I'm using the -mm3 patchset, so I can't say
for certain that it isn't causing problems with the recently
checked in code. Any suggestions on how to go about
debugging this? I'm using a usb keyboard, so I don't think
the Magic Sys-Req button will work at this point [Alas, KDB
is currently non-functional for 2.5].

Cheers,
