It's x86_64 machine and I have GPS w/ PPS (Garmin 18x LVC) connected via serial, without it kernel boots/works fine. Also no issues with GPS connected, but PPS disabled (by removing pps_core.ko module). If I'm connecting GPS w/ PPS to already booted machine — cursor on the display stops blinking and I cannot input anything, but I still can switch between VTs using Ctrl-Fx and keyboard LEDs are blinking when I'm pressing Num/Caps Lock keys.

Ok, you have a problem fixed by this commit:
commit 03a7ffe4e542310838bac70ef85acc17536b6d7c

pps: Use pps_lookup_dev to reduce ldisc coupling

I think this should go to stable-3.8 with its prerequisity:

Sorry for the noise: it *is* marked by "CC: stable" which I missed, so it will go to stable eventually.
