Ok so some of you may remember a while back me posting about my Acer Aspire 5100 keyboard would stop working, and a couple of people suggest to logout and back in because that worked for them. Well it is happening again and trying to logout or even to shut down the system locks the whole thing up. This makes be believe the problem is a little bit more then with the keyboard, I could be wrong though, but I do have the PAE kernel installed and I know people had problems with it. Anyone help to solve this? My root partition was messed up so back that I was dropped back to the Root user only partition recovery system twice just so I could run "fcsk.ext3 -y /dev/sda2" have hae almost every inode in my / be orphaned. Doesn't the world have enough orphans, to where we don't need my laptop creating thousands more?
