I thought it worth a mention, just in case. I didn't see it mentioned |
| 44 |
and was hopeful that it may shed some light. It appears to have |
| 45 |
eliminated one solution, which also sometimes helps figure out the |
| 46 |
problem. Now you know it didn't just move over somehow but is really |
| 47 |
locked. |

I'm going to try not to get mad when I mention this. Some old timers |
| 50 |
may recall my experience with hal. It would lock my computer to the |
| 51 |
point that even the reset button on the puter case wouldn't work. I |
| 52 |
literally had to unplug the puter to reset it. Nothing keyboard wise |
| 53 |
would work. It is the only time I have ever ran into such a issue. |
| 54 |
Needless to say, I was not happy. It was much worse than that but let's |
| 55 |
leave it there. ;-) So, the kernel can lock up and do some weird |
| 56 |
things. Oh, the alt-sysreq keys wouldn't work either. I saved that |
| 57 |
reset button for what I thought would be a last resort. |
| 58 |

Well, check off one more solution, even tho it was grasping at straws. |
