Stan, Could you describe your hardware in a bit more detail. I can't imagine why your system would hard lock, unless there is something seriously wrong. Also, I'm curious why puc is detecting your card as sio4 and sio5 (COM5 and COM6 respectively) Most mainboards only have sio0/COM1 and sio1/COM2. What is using sio2 and sio3? BTW - I would start from a generic kernel configuration if you don't remember what you did. Then, make the necessary changes to the copy of GENERIC, and go from there. Then, rebuild the kernel - it probably isn't necessary, but it will at least return your kernel to something closer to the baseline.
