Two things of note with this A.M.s update via PUP:
1. HW cursor has disappeared again. It was also invisible early on in the test, but it's been working like a champ until today. I switched back to SW cursor.
2. It still hangs when ACPI is enabled at boot, but today it hangs at "starting NFS statd" instead of "starting UDEV", so my observation earlier about UDEV probably has nothing to do with it.
