FreeBSD-CURRENT kernel hangs on starting KDE

[Michael L. Squires]

> System: FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT i386
> 
> Relevant hardware config:
> Mainboard  : ASUS P4S533-E (SIS645DX north, SIS962/L south bridges)
> Memory     : PC2700 512MB DDR RAM (memtest86 tested)
> VGA card   : ATI RADEON 9000 PRO

I had similar lockups with a SuperMicro P6DGH (dual PIII/850)/ATI All-in
Wonder (RADEON 7200)/Intel Pro100+ which were solved by moving the
Ethernet card to another IRQ (it was configured to share 11 by default,
moved it to 9).  The system would just stop working - mouse frozen, no
keyboard response, etc.  

I use KDE, also.
