I experienced the freeze today again, but this time after shutdown of ... Windows NT :-( I didn't interact with the machine during POST or LILO, so I have no idea whether it was already frozen there, but this time the reason probably wasn't Linux.
The log (2.2.2ac-5) shows: Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: PIIX3: not 100ative mode: will probe irqs later Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: ide0: BM-DMA at 0xf000-0xf007, BIOS settings: hda:pio, hdb:pio Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: ide1: BM-DMA at 0xf008-0xf00f, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: Keyboard timeout[2] Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: Keyboard timeout[2] Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: hda: IBM-DHEA-34330, ATA DISK drive Mar 7 14:38:11 trillian kernel: hdc: WDC AC2850F, ATA DISK drive
So in my case the s**t happens somewhere between the BIOS starts and this point (send_data). As I have seen the keyboard blocked also during a POST at least in two cases, I start to suspect BIOS / hardware problem here.
I have flashed the BIOS last year, but I have no idea whether the occasional problems started at the same time.

I use plain old A4tech serial mouse that is working for me for 6 years ...
