I'm not quite sure if the PS/2 mouse is the culprit but it looks like. A kernel configured with the PCVT options as advised in the LINT kernel boots fine (reversed characters during the autoconfigure phase) but then locks up when the multiuser login prompt has appeared. The cursor is not in the last line (about in the fifth but last) and the keyboard is locked. I had to switch back to syscons which was handling the customers requirements wrt/ umlauts and keyboard mapping satisfyingly. This for the pcvt maintainer's information. --Chris Christoph P. U.
