Hello,

I also had a lockup this morning, with both /usr/src and /usr/obj on the local 
dma33 IDE disk, hooked on the BX ata canal (instead of the HPT366).

the BP6 is on a serial console, but I still have to look how to get back to 
DDB when it is frozen (I run a plain vanilla GENERIC+SMP, so I may have to 
add other specific options - later)
