First, thanks, Simon for telling me how to solve this quite aggravating little problem. Interesting if it would be USB keyboard related. Have a MS Natural non-USB kbd. (Recently upgraded to XFree86 4.0.1 and saw option to choose MS Natural in X's config - option may have been there before, but first time I noticed. Tried reconfiguring X to generic kbd, but no difference.) When fiddling with things to try to get MYKERNEL to boot, one thing I tried was disabling my USB port in BIOS (hadn't had anything connected to it - enabled it when I was thinking of a webcam at one point and never disabled it). Made no difference. Jud >===== Original Message From simond@irrelevant.org ===== >On Mon, Oct 30, 2000 at 11:13:09AM -0500, Jud wrote: [snip] >> 1.
