This morning when I came in, BEEBLEBROX would not respond correctly to
keyboard input. The various lock lights on the keyboard flashed
together intermittently, and the speaker kept on clicking as if I had
turned on the keyboard clicks and was typing at it. I proceeded to
reseat the keyboard connector and reboot the machine, and at that point
received repeated error message:
"sm0: keyboard error, code = b6"
Please repair ASAP by replacing just the keyboard if possible (since I
have files on the local hard disk. The machine works just fine when I
telnet into it, so it's just a keyboard problem.
