Thanks for that information. It happened again, awhile ago. I was
using Gmail online, with Firefox, as I'm now doing, and the mouse just
became inactive. I had to kill the power again, which is a horribly
inelegant way to get out of that.
Lanny,
Have you tried to ssh

Lanny,
Don't forget to enable the featuret... magic sysrq is disabled by default.

To use it, you need to have it enabled in your kernel

'/proc/sys/kernel/sysrq' you have

That's why I suggested it. ;-)
Possibly it isn't in the Kernel?
It is, you have to
echo 1 /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq
To enable it. Maybe you can put it in one of the sysconfig files, somebody
here will know

Earlier, I was using GNOME and Firefox and the Mouse died. I had to
kill the power, to get the box going again, because it doesn't have a
reset switch; which is *not* an elegant way to get going. What key
combination would get me going or to a shell? CentOS 5, fully updated,
32 bit. TIA!

Did you try switching to a virtual terminal, e.g. CTL-ALT-F1?
