8 The Num Lock key is off if that means anything. I tried theSysReq keys but it
9 doesn't do anything at all. According to themessages at the next boot, it
10 doesn't sync or umount either. The mousepointer no longer moves either. At
11 this point, I hit the reset buttonwhich causes steam to come out my ears. I
12 HATE using that button.

15 also tried a different kernel too. I think if it was hardware, itwould have
16 had some kind of hick-up during the compile. I did checktemps and all is nice
17 and cool, very cool since my A/C is on fullblast. I think the oven is outside
18 on full blast instead of in thekitchen. lol It's HOT here, steamy hot.

21 tho, just to be sure.
