Hi all, This is a very weird symptom, noticed today for the first time. I have a cheap Microsoft wireless keybaord with USB connection, on one FreeBSD 6.2 release machine that acts as a lightweight server / occasional desktop. While in the console (no X running) I accidentally pressed CTRL-ALT-SPACE, received a message about USB controller error (sadly cannot remember exactly) and the machine froze completely. Tried from another machine but to no avail, it was completely frozen. After restart I tried it a second time, again same results. Changed some bios settings (disabled legacy USB support, that was actually the only option for USB besides disabling it completely) and checked a third time, still the same. Now I know this has something to do with the USB but the motherboard is not faulty. I don't know if it has to do with the particular keyboard (A Microsoft conspiracy to bring the CTRL-ALT-DEL equivalent to FreeBSD ? :) ) but was wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem (or is brave enough to try...). I should also note that after pressing CTRL-ALT-SPACE the green power led of the machine started blinking (like sometimes motherboards do when entering standby or something, only there is no option for this in BIOS). Motherboard is a cheap but brand new ASROCK 478-based P4 motherboard.
