After buildworld and the whole lot the computer boots fine, however the disk 
is still detected as only 160.00MB/s.

I do get the following crash. It seems to be related to pressing scroll lock 
on the console and hitting the page up/down buttons. When I just log on 
locally or remotely it seems to be ok. When I hit the scroll lock key before 
or after logging on I get the below crash.

Is this information sufficient? If not please let me know what more is 
required.
