What info should I provide to debug? the usual suspects are 1) while (KBDMUX_CHECK_CHAR(kbd)) { ... } loop in kbdmux_kbd_event(). could you please try to put some debug printf's into it and make sure it does not stuck there. 2) callout. kbdmux callout initialized as non mp-safe to make sure giant is held. 3) task queue. kbdmux(4) uses taskqueue_swi_giant. you might want to try uncomment section at line 81 in kbdmux.c. this should add private lock for kbdmux(4). not sure it will work though - many things has changed since i tried it. > I'm using only PS2 keyboards, and have no other format keyboards handy; > however, I can obtain USB keyb if needed. are you using ps/2 mouse? if so, try to disconnect it and see if this helps. as you said, you could try to use usb keyboard instead of ps/2. thanks, max
