I have encountered a problem with keyboard lockups under FreeBSD 1.1-Beta. When it running on "standard" ISA 486DS'es - thats all ok, but I have tried to install it on the AST Premmia SE computer (EISA, 16Mb RAM, 256K Cache, Integrated IDE and VGA controllers (both are used), SCSI HBA Adaptec-1542CF). After each ~5 minutes the keyboard (its controller, I mean) lockups. Plugging/unplugging is helpless, but it can be reseted by SYSCONS. (For example: syscons -r fast </dev/vga). It can be done by "cron" or "rsh" from remote computer. Does someone encountered something likes that? May be it can be fixed by hacking the syscons driver? Thanks in advance, SM. -- ************************************************************** * Serge N.
