Unfortuantely I continue to run into this problem where the keyboard just stops working. Everything is fine in the bios on the r5k but shortly after booting linux the keyboard will stop functioning. I'll get a few commands in and then mid-typing characters will just stop showing up on the screen. The machine can still be ping'd. In fact, when I started up a ping *from* the r5k in virtual console 2 of the boot floppies (the shell) the keyboard lasted *much* longer. The ping which I started continues, though I can't see it since I was walking through the install process in the primary virtual console. I may go pick up a serial cable later and see if things work better using a serial console. Any thoughts? I'd really like to get this box working, it's got 192M of ram, a 9G disk and a 180mhz r5k processor which makes it actually somewhat useful if I can get it working. :) Stephen
