Comment 6 for bug 144030

If I get rid do:
mv /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-generic.o

and then I use boot command

break=bottom

and then at the ramdisk prompt do:

rmmod thermal fan processor ide-cd cdrom

then I find I boot up generally OK, no hanging, no mouse driver, but I do get this:

If I then modprobe thermal, all hangs again but not quite as badly. Some of the alt-sysreq keystrokes work.
