Summary: NetBSD-0.9: keyboard hangs under heavy system load
Keywords: keyboad hangs NetBSD


I have NetBSD-0.9 running since a few days. I tried to build XFree86-1.3
on this system. Once I applied all the patches to X11R5, I did the
make World >& world.log & and all went really fine. This was until I
started to do some other work. After a few ps -ax, df, ls -l and
tail World.log the keyboard suddenly hung. The make still continued
so I logged in from a terminal and a few hours later after make
finished I rebooted and all was well. The problem happened a second time
running xterm. Again a reboot fixed it. Any ideas ???

Also I noticed that the serial driver performance is worse than
386bsd-01 + pk2.4.
