Unfortunately, I lack another machine to telnet in from :(.
I've noticed this type of lockup before, though, and it's relatively
rare in occurance until I got the tape drive stuff. But it still
happened once in a while, and it's almost always the same - no
keyboard...
But other stuff could easily be locked up as well. I was in X
at the time, and nothing was updating at the time of the lockup,
either.
