The mouse is dead and CTRL-ALT-BS and CTRL-ALT-DEL do nothing. I have tried both minicom and kermit with similar results. I have also looked at the dmesg and see disturbing things: sio0: configured irq 4 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 sio0 at port 0x3f8-ox3ff irq4 flags 0x10 on isa0 sio0: type 8250 sio1: configured irq 3 not in bitmap of probed irqs 0 I have confirmed the IRQ and address for sio0 are the same as windows uses on this system. Any idea how I might get this working? With a rock-solid hang, it's pretty tough to get pointers to the problem. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
