To restart properly requires HW_DIRECT. Inspect the output of "dmesg." If
your kernel was compiled with MRG_ADB, you will see that in the adb0
probe. All you should have to do is comment out "options MRG_ADB" in the
config. IIRC, that isn't done in all the distributions, because HW_DIRECT
is newer, and hasn't worked on every machine.
