cteg, does Rik's workaround work for you as well?  Have you been in
contact with the module maintainer, and if so can you send a link or
subject line for reference?  Rik, are you still able to reproduce this
(and either way, what kernel are you using now)?  Both, when you say
the rest of the system was OK, do you mean that e.g. you could ssh in
and use the system normally?

Thanks, both, and sorry for the slow reply.
