In the past few weeks I have experience two sort of crashes (not actual
kernel panics but close enough).

1) I'm running XFree (3.1.1 I think S3). Under some condition the key
   board will lock (I.e, the system will cease to listen to key board
   commands - can't switch to virtual consoles for example) but I can
   still use the mouse to cut and paste. It seems to happen under heavy
   ppp usage (esp when running tin -r). I don't know if this is a kernel
   problem, X problem or window manager problem (I run ctwm).

2) I was trying to copy a file from a cdrom directly to the floppy drive -
   I had formatted the floppy with the format command (turned out this was
   a preformatted 720K floppy). Anyways, the access light went on the 
   floppy but after some period of time it was obvious data was not being
   written so I ejected the floppy. Upon ejection of the floppy the 
   machine paused for a second then rebooted.

The system is an ASUS P-100 with NCR scsi controller. Er the mother
board is a p54tp4. 

Responses should be sent to atk@cs.colorado.edu - a reply will probably
not work.
