Actually the OS install went great... The problem is when we try to use the console. The problem is that the mouse and keyboard do strange things, apparently during disk accesses, or when the machine is busy. The mouse suddenly wants to go up, and produces false mouse clicks. The keyboard is less confused, but shift keys (control, etc.) seem to get suck sometimes (the keyboard seems fine under X though...). The mouse problems seem to be corrupted data, it never moves spontaneously, it just hicups when its being moved. (IE: login remotely, and no problems) Very rarely, the machines have paniced, in remrunqueue (sorry, no crashdump, and I didn't write down the exact error). Any Ideas of how to fix it? Thanks! -Tom "Please explain to me the scientific nature of the Wammie." -Scully tjohnson@csREMOVEgrad.cs.vt.edu remove the REMOVEs...
