sometime back, I had posted a mail about this. I am running
NetBSD-1.0B on a 90 mhz Pentium and I keep getting the message 'pc: timeout
updating leds', after which my keyboard gets stuck. This occurs esp.
when I use the cntrl key. Earlier Charles Hannum had suggested that my
pccons.c may not be the current version. I got v 1.65.2.3 and built a
new kernel and for a few days the problem *seemed* to have
disappeared.It resurfaced a few
days ago (with the same kernel as before). I then changed my keyboard
for a better one and again the problem disappeared. Tonight again, it
has started troubling me. I am quite baffled by this weird behavior.
As I said, it occurs mainly when I try to use the cntrl key. FYI, the
caps-lock key has been mapped to the cntrl key.  If I wait long
enough, the control comes back to me, but more often than not, I have
had to reboot the machine from a different computer.


This is an excerpt from my /var/log/messages file:

Any help will be appreciated. Thanx.
