When I thought about it a bit more this occured to me - and I wouldn't have got there without this post. Many thanks, I had to tinker around, but without your post I'd never have done it!

It does this mostly when working with console. It suddenly locks up for about 1-3 mins (no keys work), then it may let go or not. Pulling out the PS/2 cable and plugging it back in again helps, but only for a while - and after this the keyboard repeat rate sinks to about half its value. Pressing those CONNECT buttons on both the receiver and the keyboard doesn't help at all. Oh and it never does this under win98. Maybe I have to lower the key repeat rate? If so which file do I edit? Please help?

Regards, Rahul. (first time Linux user!) A sure sign that you have a winmodem is that there is a driver. Real modems don't need drivers. The makers of winmodems make drivers for Toyland operating systems only, not for real operating systems such as Linux or OS/2. A winmodem is simply a modem with the firmware gutted out so that the computer's processor must use a driver to do what the modem ought to be doing on its own.They are also unwilling to release enough information to let people write Linux drivers. US Robotics makes good modems, apart from its apperant behaviour in producing these winmodem abortions. Their web page has lists of model numbers for real modems and winmodems. here is the url:

Date: Sat, 16 Jun 2001 15:19:58 GMT
Greetings! I woke up this morning to a console full of errors. I've
got about 275 lines of these errors. Does anyone know if these are
specifically ReiserFS or hard drive/hardware errors.
I've also noticed that the errors occur when 'tar' tries to stat()
certain files. i.e. the errors appear on the console in tandem with
the tar command:
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p2: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p3: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p4: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p5: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p6: Cannot stat: Permission denied
tar: /dev/rd/c2d26p7: Cannot stat: Permission denied
Can anything be done to repair/correct these? I've got backups, do I
need to go back to ext2? I've been running ReiserFS for 4 months with
no problems until now. Any advise would be great! Thanks!
Tony G.

You also need to post your /proc/pci, /proc/interrupts and
/etc/conf.modules as well as windows ME settings for the card.
Escpecially as you have a completly different motherboard.
my 2 cents worth
