[olug] My console has fallen and it can't get up

Just a suggestion, but it might be the keyboard.  Sometimes when a piece of
equipment is going bad it will work for limited periods of time.  Try
another keyboard and see if it works.

This just happened again on the same box.  This time I was NOT in
X11 and it had nothing to do with the X screensaver.  The machine
froze at the login prompt; once again the keyboard was completely
unresponsive.  I suspect that the fact I was in an X session the
first time is incidental.  Once again the console is completely dead.


Last time I received a lot of "press this key and then press that"
suggestions.  I will reiterate the fact that the keyboard does not
respond, not even CNTRL-ALT-DELETE does anything.  It is not a hardware
problem with the KB, after all, when I restart the system by killing
the power then the system comes back and the keyboard is fine.
