Got to loogn prompt but could not write and no sysreq. Went to work and borrowed an old keyboard with old style attchement (can't remember what these are called but they have purple ends - serial ps/2??) No issues with any version of any kernels plugging in usb sticks. Include gentoo and vanilla. I have a roccat keyboard (which I guess is fairly exotic). This is somehow causing the problem. How I'm not sure. Using a standard keybaord and no problem. So if anyone comes across this problem I recommend try a nother keyboard. Will try studying all options in kernel to see if I can cure this. There are roccat options but these are for macros and don't help. But there maybe more other subtle ones available.
