Hmm.. This is interesting. I am also having a keyboard hang problem but I am NOT running
psm in the kernel. It occurs when I change consoles a lot. I had three consoles and doing a
couple ALT F1, ALT F2, AALT F1, etc.. would make it hang. It seamed to occur once when I was
running vi. Although it didn't happen often. However, I have now added another console in
the kernel and have not had the problem. But, I haven't done many more ALT's since I am
running X.
