I've narrowed the problem down to: Snapshot 2.8 is running without problems since 14 hours when unplugging the ps/2 mouse _before_ installation (floppy28, ftp). So, it's back to the original question of any known problems with ps/2 keyboard plus ps/2 mouse. As before, I haven't found any hints at the faqs, man pages or misc mailing list (geocrawler). Ideas, hints, pointers are welcome. Alf
