Yeah, this is the same problem I've had for ahwhile. I've had plenty of
other things to work on, and since it's the server I don't often need to
sit at the console. I'd be surprised if it's a hardware problem related to
the power outage. I'm not sure why I'd be surprised. Maybe I'm overly
optimistic.

Here's what I get from lsmod:

[root@thales wilson]# /sbin/lsmod
Module         Pages    Used by
psaux              1            0

I'd love to hear other ideas.
