i8042 driver non-determinantly chokes mac on boot
Though I'm not sure I even have an i8042 (I'm guessing no, as I run on a Mac) the detection failure path has gone a little wonky in recent kernels. Half the time it times out with the following (as it ought, me thinks)
IN from bad port 64 at c01f3100
IN from bad port 64 at c01f3100
IN from bad port 64 at c01f3100
IN from bad port 64 at c01f3100i8042.c: i8042 controller self test timeout.
But the other half of the time it stalls my machine out entirely. Clues? Want my .config?
I'm running on a Titanium PowerBook3,5.

I suppose you should disable it, it really has no bussiness running on a Mac. Does it write anything when it also crashes?

Nope, just makes the machine stall out.
