I have a Pentium 133 with 32 meg of ram

When the F00F bug is caught (it detects it and sends a message to the console),
I can still switch terminals and toggle the keybd lights, control- and
shift- scroll-lock both still work, and my machine responds to ping, but no
other keyboard input gets processed. Let me know if there is any other helpful
information I can supply...
