Looks like the kernel has a general problem on R3000-based machines.
Unfortunately I do not own a working and supported R3k box, so I can
only do the tests on my 5000/150 (which is exactly the same machine
as the 5000/125, just with an R4000 CPU board instead of the R3000
board in the 5000/125).
I have done nearly 30 test installations with varying setups (both
framebuffer and serial console) on it and have not experienced
any freezes or oopses.
Martin, what is your experience with your 5000/125 after we got
your problem with the cursor keys resolved?

Karsten
