Listmates,
I just checked on an 11.0 box, tapped on the keyboard and nothing happened. Then looked closer at the keyboard and the scroll lock, numlock, and caplock lights are on steady. That was strange, because moments earlier I was working from a samba share on the box. A quick ssh into the box and check of the logs and all is good - no errors. What happened to the keyboard? I know flashing lights means hardware failure, what do steady lights mean? What to try to get the keyboard back?
(we have a kitten, so a prior tap-dance on the keyboard isn't out of the question)
Flashing is Kernel Panic. Maybe it recovered? Never heard of that....
I'm betting on the kitten tap-dance. Looked with ps axf and the only thing that looked like it could give me problems was powersaved. So I stopped powersaved unplugged the keyboard and plugged it back in and all is good. Gremlins... If it happens again, I'll just try pulling the cable with altering powersaved and see if it does anything different. I seriously doubt that the two are related. Oh, well, chock this one up to a weird event. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
