Hi Sam, I thank you for sharing information.
You wrote "maybe Intel delivered a serie of bugged HT processors that do not work properly with the standard 686-smp linux kernels". I do not know, but I used these machines with SUSE and Slackware without similar simptoms correctly... I will try playing with ACPI and NumLock key. It sounds a bit funny. :-) Thanx again, nigra -- Keyboard non-responsive when using kernel 2.6.12 (breezy) https://launchpad.net/bugs/20062 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
