>Description:
Sometime early Wednesday morning (problem was noticed at 5:44am), the
console on my machine locked up. When turning the screen on, the clock
that was present on my console was still ticking away, and was showing
5:44, indicating that the problem was completely within the keyboard
(nothing typed showed up on the screen)
Of note: it was working when I went to bed 2 hours earlier, and the
system continued to work. If I had a terminal, I am
comfortable with assuming that I would have been able to login
using it.
As is shown in the above dmesg, I am running pcvt, with the following
/etc/rc.i386 settings, which I got from a friend, who is using the
same settings:
#!/bin/sh -
#
# rc.i386,v 1.9 1995/05/26 18:06:52 rgrimes Exp
# Do i386 specific processing
#
echo -n 'enabling FreeBSD/i386 options:'
echo -n ' pcvt'
if [ -s /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220l.808 -a \
-s /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220h.808 ] ; then
loadfont -c 6 -f /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220l.808
loadfont -c 7 -f /usr/share/misc/pcvtfonts/vt220h.808
for vty in /dev/ttyv* ; do
scon -d $vty -s 50
cursor -d $vty -s0 -e16
done
fi
scon -c 1
echo '.'
>How-To-Repeat:
It does it randomly, sometimes within minutes of rebooting, somethings,
as is this case, after over a days uptime/usage.
