I'm trying to get a gentoo guest running in vmware app on windowsxp. |

I just installed a prebuilt appliance (gentoo 2008) and am now |
| 4 |
updating it. |

|

I got the kernel rebuilt and updated to 2.6.32-r5 and rebooted into |
| 7 |
that. |

I now have all uppercase at the cmdline. The actual keyboard is not |
| 10 |
in uppercase mode... and oddly the gentoo install apparently is not |
| 11 |
seeing uppercase at the cmdline since cmds that are supposed to be in |
| 12 |
lower case all work. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
typing what I see as `LS' at the command line does what `ls' is supposed |
| 15 |
to do and lists the directory, so gentoo is seeing lowercase where I |
| 16 |
see uppercase. |

Anyone have a clue what this might be about? |

I typed dmesg thinking to maybe append it here. I saw `DMESG', when |
| 21 |
the printout flashed by it was all uppercas then the OS froze... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Will now have to hard reboot it to see if I can see whats going on. |

Prior to booting the new kernel it ran on 2.6.24-r8 and seemed to run |
| 26 |
normally. |
