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. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
