On rebooting to it, and launching kmail, cpu went to 100% of whatever core it skipped to on a 4 core amd phenom box with 4G of ram. Normally, kmail on a restart will check and rebuild its indices, taking maybe 4 or 5 minutes to do this up till now, during that time keyboard/mouse interactivity lags a split second. This time it was 44 minutes before I got my machine back. At times the keyboard went dead for minutes at a time. I even went to the kitchen and got fresh batteries for it, only to have everything I had typed blind 2 minutes before, show up on screen while there was no batteries in it. 2. That I think is separate from the login screen, there I had no keyboard or mouse for a minute, but something finally registered and I was able to log in then. 3. My usb tree is not fully populated, this has been a frequent problem for the last year or so, udev often does not wait for responses long enough to trace a several hubs tall tree to the last branch so I have to crawl under and unplug the missing stuff later, which is then properly recognized when I plug it back into the same socket on the same hub. One of my often missing printers is 4 hubs away in the basement. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
