No, as I said, it was at a (text-mode) console, /dev/tty2 as I recall. You're right, I expect it was just not echoing, as I could switch consoles fine, implying that the lowest-level interrupt handler was working, but it's still surprising. The server stopped responding to my login, so I wandered over to the console to look for kernel panics and encountered the symptom. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
