Sunblade 2000 hangs hard, related to X
I have four SunBlade 2000s running Debian sid. For the most part they
work great, but if the "wrong" key(s) are pressed, the machine hangs
hard, so that the CAPS lock/Numlock indicators don't work, and the
machine can no longer be pinged or ssh'd into. Power cycling is the only
recourse available.
If at kdm's login screen, I press Ctrl-Alt-F8 to go to the second X
session, things are fine IF there's a second X session on -F8; if not,
the machine hangs.
If from a VT (say, Alt-F2), I press Alt-F8 to go to the second X
session, things are fine IF there's a second X session on -F8; if not,
the machine hangs.
If from anywhere, I press Stop-A, the machine hangs. If' I'm at a VT, I
see the message "Type 'go' to resume ok", but "go" doesn't do
anything; the machine's totally hung. This happens even if I shut down
kdm first.
There may be other keystrokes that hang the machine also, but these are
duplicatable, every time.
Any clues?
Thanks!
