I hope this may be helpful; but I have found that when I leave the machine for a while or switch back to it from the KVM, sometimes some compiling operation may hang at a point where it shouldn't, so I hit CTRL+C cancel the job, at which point the keyboard suddenly freezes as described above. The mouse does work during this time, I should note. I apologize for spamming, but I am trying to provide as much information as I can to get this fixed. I managed to have kept a few xterm open and used its copy-and-paste mechanism to type simple commands. When I looked at dmesg, I saw something similar to what was reported here: http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg06735.html > Call Trace:<ffffffff8011dea1>{powernowk8_get+145} > <ffffffff802e2b90>{cpufreq_get+96} > <ffffffff8011266a>{handle_cpufreq_delayed_get+58} > <ffffffff80148eec>{worker_thread+476} > <ffffffff801326d0>{default_wake_function+0} > <ffffffff80130733>{__wake_up_common+67} > <ffffffff80148d10>{worker_thread+0} > <ffffffff8014d7a9>{kthread+217} > <ffffffff80133be0>{schedule_tail+64} > <ffffffff8010f5b7>{child_rip+8} > <ffffffff8011d4f0>{flat_send_IPI_mask+0} > <ffffffff8014d6d0>{kthread+0} > <ffffffff8010f5af>{child_rip+0} This mailing list thread seems to encompass the whole problem very well: http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0507.0/1378.html Have you tested the patch posted in the thread? Daniel, Yes, I patched gentoo-sources-2.6.12-rc6, and I have been running for the past ten hours without a glitch--something I would not have been able to have done before. Everything appears to be working well; I hope that the kernel maintainers are able to incorporate this fix into the sources soon. Fixed in gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r7 Fixed in genpatches-2.6.12-11 |
