i had problems with the 2.2 kernel too. i think it's only 2.4 that sends
it into suspend, but 2.2 used to hang the console too. i can put the old
hdd back in and find out exactly.

did it. on the tty i get:
ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
ptrace: umoven: Input/output error
(yeah, twice.)
then the laptop goes into suspend.
when i un-suspend it gpm is running according to ps but there's no cursor
visible on the screen when i move the trackball and the buttons appear to
do nothing:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
