Hi,

I've been getting some very strange behaviour booting 4.6-RC
(~24/05/2002) on my Tyan Thunder K7, dual Athlon non-MP 1.2Ghz, 1GB
workstation.
Roughly 50% of the time, I get the following error in dmesg:

...
atkbd0: <AT Keyboard> flags 0x1 irq 1 on atkbdc0
device_probe_and_attach: atkbd0 attach returned 6
...

Whilst the Num Lock LED remains on, the keyboard is effectively dead,
and I am forced to hard reset the machine (I know of no alternative).
The other 50% of the time the machine boots beautifully, and I just get
the standard "kbd0 at atkbd0" message.
I have had no problems under Windows NT/2000/XP, so I'm left to assume
the fault is somewhere in BSD.
I *have* tried to run FreeBSD on this machine before (around November
last year), and I seem to recall I had a similar problem which I didn't
report, so I don't think this is particularly new, but as it's gone
unmentioned, and 4.6 is so close I thought it would be worth bringing up
again.
If you need further details, I'll be happy to provide (I'm not on
FreeBSD atm).

Yours,

Robin Breathe
