The boot up messages said that the keyboard has exited with a signal 6 error Yet on the same machines that displayed this behaviour if I plugged in an old keyboard eveything behaved normally I have had 2 machines display the same behaviour. Both have different hardware. The only common parts were they were all P2's and both had 128MB of Ram. One had a Tyan Thunder Dual processor MB the other was a Gigabyte BX2000+ Everything else was different. Can anyone tell me what might be the cause of this? Release 4.0 works fine with both keyboards Please reply directly as I am not on this list Thanks in advance Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
