Thanks -- I should probably mention this isn't an ordinary PC, well
not entirely.  It's a repurposed Watchguard Fireguard II box, which is
basically PC hardware but (among other things) has a very limited
BIOS.

I did some other testing with a Linux image and had similar lockup
problems with mouse-related problems.  So it's possible it's the mouse
detection that's part of my issue.  Is there any way in the 4.10
kernel to disable probing of the PS/2 port for a mouse?
