Actually, I don't believe you. Do you mean npx0? :) it is pretty incredible that you are hanging due to the Numeric Processor Extension (i.e., the floating point thingie)...but slightly more believeable than something that doesn't seem to exist. :) A serial console capture of this thing would be interesting. I'm mytified by this...closest thing to an explaination I can think of is something is being misassigned IRQ 13 for some reason... Get a serial console on this thing, let's find out what we are dealing with... Nick.
