I remember seeing something about this a while back, but can't seem to
find it in any of the existing documentation or readme's.  

The problem I'm having is that my keyboard inexplicably falls off the face
of the earth occasionally (often enough to get on my nerves).  Basically
the only way I can find to bring the machine back up is to reset it by
telnetting in.  There are no errors at the time it decides to take a nap,
but I do get the following during bootup:

Apr  9 12:36:42 wraith /kernel: Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
Apr  9 12:36:42 wraith /kernel: scprobe: keyboard RESET failed (result =
0xfe)

While I'm at it, I'm also getting the following on a CDROM probe:

Apr  9 12:36:43 wraith /kernel: wdc1: unit 0 (atapi): <NEC
CD-ROM DRIVE:282/3.07>, removable, dma, iordy
Apr  9 12:36:43 wraith /kernel: atapi1.0: unknown phase

I haven't come across the unknown phase before, but it's a backseat
problem to the keyboard freezing up.

Any help is appreciated. As I say, I know there was something a while ago
about a fix to the keyboard reset problem during a reset, but I don't
know if it's related.

Mike.
