 I had something like this when upgrading from 5.0.to 5.2, due to the
joystick driver hitting (in this case) the network card. The error was a
bit erratic, and didn't always do the same things, in fact it changed on
a power cycle.

 I'd suggest you try two things. If the module you are using has a
joystick option, try joystick=0 as a parameter, and secondly, make sure
you haven't got anything at IO port 0x200, which is the normal joystick
port.
