As the subject said, installing the IKP + the lockbreaking patch + the preemptive kernel caused umount to solid lock the computer (to the point that the magic sysrq command was the only thing functioning). Recompiling the kernel without lockbreaking and preempt makes everything function perfectly. Thought you guys might be interested to know about this, I can provide more information if it'd help.
