If anyone tracks the Hardware list, this error pops up when certain people (like myself) who has a kvm "rotary" switch box. I saved one of the posts because the guy said he had no problems with his "fix". I have been trying ever since to duplicate what he did, with no luck. Ill include the message that I saved, and if anyone knows how to do the "fix", post your results on either the stable or hardware lists, for the people who dont know (me)........ ""That was also a symptom of my problems... KB would block up, but only after I switched to a Windows machine.....
