Hi netters!
I'm experiencing this weird random keyboard lockup problem.
Well, the nature of the problem is simple. Everything works fine, except
that it doesn't accept any inputs from keyboard. Not even ctrl-alt-del.
It seems like the keyboard has been disconnected from the computer.
Yes, I check the keyboard plug millions of times, but that's not it.
I work in X windows environment about 99% of times. And when lockup
happens, the mouse still works. I can bring up root menu and even
quit X windows. But the keyboard is still locked up.
And I'm not doing anything special that causes the problem. It even locks
up when I'm typing in something in editor.
I'm suspecting my new motherboard that I have upgraded a month ago.
It's a 486DX-66 VLB with Bioteq chipset. I haven't had this lockup problem
with my old 386 motherboard.
But then, it might be the new kernel, 0.99pl9.
Well, does anybody else experience this problem?
It's very annoying especially when I was doing something important.
I had to do cold-reset or power down of the system to bring it back.
I think it's bad for the system also since I can't run shutdown program
when I reboot.
Please help!
