All, Nothing earth-shattering here, but I have noticed that a reboot after running a 2.6.* kernel (including -rc?s and -mm?s), the BIOS beeps, and displays "8603\nPointing Device Error" first thing. After POST and the other card's BIOS routines, it drops me into the BIOS setup. I can either modify the pointer entry, or just exit setup, and all is well. The machine is an unremarkable IBM with a Pentium III @ 450 MHz (a *real* screamer ;-). The mouse *does* connect through a Linksys KVM switch, although the 2.4 series didn't exhibit this issue. The mouse itself is a cheap optical scroll mouse I've used for two or three years. The BIOS is dated "7/19/1999" which of course is ancient (and IBM ;-). I wouldn't even mention it, except that in the rare case (well, actually - not so rare: it's happened twice this year) of our building losing power after hours, the machine will remain at the prompt in the BIOS setup on 'Continue'/'Exit' instead of booting back to the login prompt, and my cron backups don't run. Any ideas? Please reply to me directly, as I'm not prepared to subscribe to l-k. Further details available upon request. Thanks! -- Daniel S.
