Hallo all!
I started compiling the new kernel, when I realized I was also compiling e2fsprogs on another VC. I switched console (I've remapped the Pause key to do that), pressed Scroll Lock, pressed Pause again.
Then I received a bunch of errors.
This should give you the idea:
for(;;) { puts("Keyboard timed out"); sleep(3); };
/var/adm/syslog just reports one of them:
Jun 4 10:04:14 shalott kernel: fcntl_setlk() called by process 109 (sendmail) with broken flock() emulation Jun 4 10:04:15 shalott last message repeated 3 times Jun 4 11:19:04 shalott kernel: Keyboard timed out Jun 4 11:23:54 shalott kernel: Console: 16 point font, 400 scans
I had to reboot the hard way; console switching still worked but C-A-A - or any other key - did not.
I've got a quite-bleeding-edge system: 1.99.10, insmod 1.3.69k etc, but I also got this message with kernel 1.3.x some time ago. It happened only on my hardware, as far as I can remember, and I use lots of Linux systems every day.
The keyboard is a standard PC one. I've got an ISA serial card which replaces my broken cua0.
The following comes from my system after the reboot (sorry if it's pedantic).

That's all. Thank you for giving me Linux. I needed it.
All The Best, Marco
