Good luck! I think that there's nothing wrong with that piece of code, because syscons changes the keybell status, and it works properly for people (but I'll look at it anyway) I'll check all this when I will get some free time (probably this weekend) > Well, if you had given all that extra information about using keybell=off > and 30Hz stuff... better give too much details that too little.
