Hello, I have been using Slink on my Toshiba Satellite 4000CDT since March without a problem. I just upgraded to Potato and the console does not respond now. I am dual booting the Laptop with OpenBSD, so I am confident it is not a hardware issue. I also custom compiled a 2.2.13 kernel, which I do not believe is the issue as when I first did the upgrade and then installed the kernel, the console still worked (I did include support for Virtual Consoles in the kernel config). It is when I upgraded kbd to the current .99-8 and removed kbd-data (and replace it with the console-* package) that it hosed me. I have tried to downgrade back to kbd and kbd-data .96, but the console is still locked. For an experiment I installed gdm (through ssh) to see if that would change anything, but when I rebooted it was locked also (no keyboard/mouse response).
I have checked through the archive and read the keyboard/console HOWTO to no avail. The docs in /usr/share/doc/kbd do not mention this problem. Though there were a few posts about problems with the kbd package and the console locking up, none were resolved that I could see. I can see no messages in the logs (kern, syslog, etc), and the keymap seems to load fine (both in the dmesg and when I manually load the map). There are gettys running on tty1-6. Any help appreciated, would hate to have to reload slink. Thanks in advance Mike -- Michael Sullenszino [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
