My grub.cfg isn't the standard... I'm not sure that I left the USB
entry in.

Same version, also on a T60. I'd had those before too.[1]  I'd been
running 20150518 pretty much since it came out, and had been running
previous versions long before that.  I'd never had issues like this
before either.

kernel not doing bounds checking; assuming that the hardware only
sends it sane values.
