2.6.6-mm2 foibles

2.6.6-mm2 foibles

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I just booted to a 2.6.6-mm2 kernel, and discoverd I had no sound.  So 
I logged back out of x, and found I had no keyboard!  ssh'd in from 
the firewall and rebooted it.

Both sound, and the backswitch from x were working perfectly up to and 
including 2.6.6.

1400 mhz Athlon, half a gig of memory, FC1 all yum updates.

Ideas?

 I got something like that, but from the console: I was just using the
computer and my keyboard locks (at console). I tryed a ssh from
another machine and it worked (nothing special in log messages too),
so I rebooted.

 It happened two times in some minutes ago. I'm looking at suspects
patches, if it happens again I will try to reverse something.

I'm also having problems with 2.6.6-mm2 and losing my keyboard. After
logging into X, after a while, the keyboard stops responding. However,
my USB mouse still works.

I had this problem too, and I tried reverting bk-input.patch; it works, 
but it won't help. This is a huge Bitkeeper patch...

Let me include some of the warnings from the latest build, from 'make

I can attach the .config if someone wants to see it.

I saw similar thing with 2.6.6 (no -mm), but I can not reproduce it.

IIRC, grepping some binary file triggered it. The grep hung, and keyboard
was dead. Closing the konsole window with mouse gave me my keyboard back.
