Wonder if this is related to my dead keyboard syndrome. my no concernable reason my keyboard will lockup completely dead. Reset button time. tasks are still running as I watched a kernel re-compile finish once. The screen will blank but nothing on the keyboard is active. There are no messages written in syslog. This will usually occur if I leave the room for a minute and usually when in an editor with half finished mail :) But it has happened at a prompt as well. and it's really bothering me. Somedays it doesn't happen at all, but other days like today it occured 3-4 times.
Pentium 100 Gigabyte with 256k of cache 16meg of mem.. Old old mitsumi AT keyboard. PCI triton. 4 IDE drives and a soundblaster. ATI mach-32 ISA with 2meg of video. APM is disabled, but everything else is set to its fastest settings.
