It was running great with -Stable cvsupped around Dec 18th or so. Tuesday, I saw that a problem with NFS locking was fixed, and I was having an nfs/amd problem on a desktop Vectra, so I cvsupped both machines and did a buildworld, etc. The Vectra had no problem. I'm not sure if the NFS issue is solved, I haven't had opportunity to be on that machine this week. Anyway, after coming up in full user mode, the keyboard is locked up on the Dell. I searched the archives and it seems that 5.4-S has some problems in this regard and that devd is the culprit. I commented out the 8-10 lines in devd.conf that have ukbd0 in them. But that didn't help at all. I tried turning off devd, big mistake, the network didn't come up then. Makes sense. I tried coming up without DBUS, as that was the last thing I'd done before the holiday's on the machine. No help. I have a usb keyboard at home, but this machine is at work, and I forgot it over night. Anybody have any other ideas. Oh, I had a custom kernel, also tried the GENERIC kernel and the old kernel. I re-cvsupped on Wednesday and built again. Thanks, Paul. -- ______ Paul T. Root / _ \ 1977 MGB / /|| \\ ||\/ || _ | || || || \ ||__// \______/
