 Keyboard lock up on OSR5.0.6 Hi there, Our keyboard gets locked up when running an oash menu script. We get total loss of keyboard function, no CapsLock, no NumLock, nothing. The same script doesn't lock up telnet or serial connections, only the console's keyboard. Running OSR5.0.6 Enterprise with the following patches... rs506a/oss629a/oss635a/oss636a/oss639a/oss640a/oss642a/oss643a/oss645a/oss648a We've been using the same menu script for a few years now without problems. This problem has started happening in the last 2 or 3 months on a fresh installations on new Dell PowerEdge servers. We've had prior (exact installs) on identical PowerEdge servers without issue. I've tried different keyboards but I'm still getting the same result. Someone on this news group had suggested the following... >This sounds like the keyboard controller is locking up.

Any more ideas? Thanks, DonF      |
