Bug#445314: linux-image-2.6.22-2-amd64: Kernel hang with ASUS P5KC mobo apparently fixed with Linux 2.6.23-rc9

["Karl O. Pinc" <kop@meme.com>]

Now, after reboot the device special files are fine.  ?

I tried both cold and warm booting, with both a usb and
a ps2 keyboard attached (just in case).  The device
special files came up right each time.

However, once when using the 'halt' command
the machine crashed and I got
this on the console:  It would not respond to the
reset button and required a cold boot.

Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed!
