If you do try a USB keyboard be sure and test reboot -d (make a kernel core). On the intel servers I have reboot -d (or any panic) causes the kernel to lockup forever. In the routine where it writes out kernel dumps it pools for a control-c hit on the console that routine (poll for a char) turns out to block on USB keyboards during shutdown, I suspect too much of the user level USB code has been turned off by then. I ended up turning off the kernel (5.1) USB support, not running the usb deamon and removing moused. To save on USB related kernel crashes.Received on Mon Sep 01 2003 - 15:52:57 UTC
