The symptoms are easy to describe: the console hangs, and switching to another doesn't work. Also the num-lock key is dead. The floppy light stays on, but it doesn't sound like it is doing anything but spinning the motor. There are no messages in the system logs. Any hints on what to do? Thanks, Jurriaan -- Cadets were humping in the corridors, a party of outraged Senators roamed Krane barracks, everyone, including me, questioned orders, ... Law and order.
