[ Horror stories expunged ]

I recently had almost the exact same symptoms with my Multia (freeze, reboot, 
random stuff, etc).  I had just upgraded to the latest snapshot, and it was 
solid for about a week, when it started.  I have an identical unit here at 
work that is still up since the upgrade.

I tried a new kernel from Jason with Matt's fixes to if_de. This helped, but I 
still was getting lockups (though less frequently).  Then I noticed (again) 
that on boot, I was getting a 'kbd test 7 failed' on the console.  I figured 
what the heck, and I swapped for a different keyboard, and I've had no more 
problems with my multia at home.

The one at work is still up with no poblems, and I note that I never really 
use the console on the one at work.

I wonder if something in the new snapshot console driver was changed 
recently...
