Hi!

I have installed 2.1.7-RELEASE on Dell OptiPlex 5166.  Everything seems to be 
fine, except one nuisance -  console keyboard locks up after I switch between 
virtual consoles a few times.  Actually, I am not sure that this is the only 
way to make it lock up.

I saw a suspicious message during restart:

Mar 22 03:33:11 www /kernel: Probing for devices on the ISA bus:
Mar 22 03:33:11 www /kernel: scprobe: keyboard won't accept RESET command
Mar 22 03:33:11 www /kernel: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard

Anyone has any ideas what's going on?
