Kernel 2.3.20 (compiled with gcc version 2.95.2 19990906 (prerelease) -- ugh, well, the Debian people seem to think that's ok), UP, on an Pentium II box (with Asus P2L97 mainboard). Kernel was booted with `init=/bin/sh', so this is complete a userspace issue.
deneb:/# ls -l /dev/psaux crw------- 1 root root 10, 1 Oct 11 12:22 /dev/psaux deneb:/# cat /dev/psaux > /dev/null [^C has no effect here, but ENTER still causes line feeds.] [Now move the mouse.] [The keyboard is dead. Magic SysRq doesn't work.]
I haven't tried yet whether it's only the keyboard which is dead.
