I should have added (but I forgot), that there may be a problem with
the keyboard - if so, boot in uniprocessor mode, and take one of the
actions mentioned in bugzilla #????? (I don't remember) to disable
legacy USB support. In my case, that meant re-compiling the kernel
without such support, as my BIOS (Phoenix) does not allow disabling
legacy USB.
