Okay, a couple of things:

Do this from a text console, not a GUI.
And preferably without ever starting klogd/syslogd during init.

That way you've a much better chance of seeing some kernel diagnostic
messages when it locks up.

Can you boot with "nomsi" kernel parameter?
And I guess we'll need to see the entire kernel .config as well.

This is a tricky one.  The driver behaves fine for me
here with a 7042 rev.2 on PCIe in my x86-32 box.

Cheers
