Between pre3 and 4 (also somewhere in the middle of the -ac series)
the smc-ircc and/or irda subsystem went broken (at least for me).
The kernel stops while booting at:
TCP: Hash tables configured (established 16384 bind 16384)
NET4: Unix domain sockets 1.0/SMP for Linux NET4.0.
SMC IrDA Controller found; IrCC version 2.0, port 0x118, dma=3, irq=3
The next message shuld be (in 2.4.4):
IrDA: Registered device irda0
It looks like it's some kind of loop, because the CPU fan starts running
at full speed.
This is on a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S-4546
