I use kernel 2.1.30 and since I connected my HP48SX calculator
(yes, yes :-) as a VT52 terminal on ttyS1, I sometimes have a problem with
my keyboard: it blocks, without any kernel message. All I have to do is
to log on and reboot (hard)...
I don't think it's an hardware related bug, since I had no problem
before I connect this strange terminal. Here is an excerpt from my inittab:
T1:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS1 9600 vt52
I use a P133 on an Asus P55T2/P4 motherboard, with 64 MB memory.
My .config is:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_KERNELD=y
CONFIG_NET=y
CONFIG_PCI=y
CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMIZE=y
CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=m

I can give you any other information if you want.
PS: I was under X when my keyboard blocked, but killing it didn't solve
anything. I suppressed the line for the vt52 terminal, and now, for the
moment, everything works fine.
